Detailed Implementation

[0040] This invention provides a method and system for testing the heat storage and heat exchange performance. To make the objectives, technical solutions and effects of this invention clearer and more explicit, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0041] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "installation" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0042] Please see Figure 1 This invention provides a method for testing the heat storage and heat exchange performance. The heat storage and heat exchange performance testing system includes a control device and a conveying mechanism, an exhaust mechanism, and a testing mechanism, all electrically connected to the control device. The input end of the conveying mechanism is connected to an external water supply device 41, the output end of the conveying mechanism is connected to the inlet of the heat storage and heat exchange device 42 to be tested, the exhaust mechanism is connected to the outlet of the heat storage and heat exchange device 42 to be tested, the first output end of the exhaust mechanism is connected to the testing mechanism, and the second output end of the exhaust mechanism is connected to an external collection device. The heat storage and heat exchange performance testing method includes:

[0043] 100. Control and adjust the working status of the conveying mechanism and the exhaust mechanism to switch the heat storage and heat exchange performance testing system to heat storage mode;

[0044] 200. After controlling the heating power of the heat storage heat exchange device 42 under test to be increased to the preset power value, the heating timer is executed. When the temperature of the heat storage material of the heat storage heat exchange device 42 under test meets the preset heating conditions, the timing is stopped to obtain the heating time.

[0045] 300. Control and adjust the working status of the conveying mechanism and the exhaust mechanism to switch the heat storage and heat exchange performance testing system to exhaust mode;

[0046] In this embodiment, the exhaust mode is executed before the heat release mode, which can first exhaust the high-temperature steam that may appear or exist in the pipeline to the outside of the detection system, avoiding direct contact between the high-temperature steam and the tester, thus ensuring the safety of the tester during the test process.

[0047] 400. After exhausting the heat, control and adjust the working status of the conveying mechanism and the exhaust mechanism to switch the heat storage and heat exchange performance testing system to the heat release mode.

[0048] 500. Control the detection mechanism to start working and execute the heat release timing, obtain the detection results fed back by the detection mechanism, and stop timing when the detection results meet the preset heat release conditions to obtain the heat release time;

[0049] 600. Calculate the heat storage and heat exchange ratio based on the heating time, test results, and heat release time.

[0050] This application discloses a method for testing the performance of heat storage and heat exchange. The heat storage and heat exchange ratio can be calculated, and the heat storage and heat exchange ratio serves as a unified evaluation standard among different types of heat storage and heat exchange devices. It enables accurate measurement of the overall performance of different types of heat storage and heat exchange devices, allowing for performance comparison between heat storage and heat exchange devices with different parameters and types. This provides data support for the performance improvement and optimization of different types of heat storage and heat exchange devices.

[0051] Further, please refer to Figure 2 The conveying mechanism includes a first valve body 11, a conveying pump 12, and a second valve body 13, all electrically connected to the control device. The venting mechanism includes a third valve body 21, a fourth valve body 22, and a fifth valve body 23, all electrically connected to the control device. The inlet of the first valve body 11 is connected to an external water supply device 41. The outlet of the first valve body 11 is connected to the inlet of the second valve body 13 via the conveying pump 12. The outlet of the second valve body 13 is connected to the inlet of the heat storage and heat exchange device 42 to be tested. The inlet of the third valve body 21 is connected to the outlet of the heat storage and heat exchange device 42 to be tested. The first outlet of the third valve body 21 is connected to the input of the detection mechanism via the fifth valve body 23. The second outlet of the third valve body 21 is connected to the inlet of the fourth valve body 22. The outlet of the fourth valve body 22 is connected to an external collection device. The control adjustment of the working state of the conveying mechanism and the venting mechanism to switch the heat storage and heat exchange performance testing system to heat storage mode specifically includes:

[0052] 101. The first valve body 11 of the control conveying mechanism is closed, the second valve body 13 is closed, and the conveying pump 12 stops working;

[0053] 102. The first output port of the third valve body 21 and the fifth valve body 23 of the exhaust mechanism are closed, and the input port and the second output port of the third valve body 21 are opened, and the fourth valve body 22 is opened, and the heat storage and heat exchange performance detection system is switched to heat storage mode.

[0054] Furthermore, when the temperature of the heat storage material in the heat storage and heat exchange device 42 meets the preset heating conditions, the timing is stopped to obtain the heating time, specifically including:

[0055] 201. When the temperature of the heat storage material in the heat storage and heat exchange device 42 under test is greater than or equal to the preset heating temperature, stop timing;

[0056] 202. Record the time required for the heat storage material to heat up from room temperature to the preset heating temperature, and obtain the heating time.

[0057] In this embodiment, when the heat storage mode is executed, the water supply device 41 is first ensured to be sufficient; then the heater of the heat storage heat exchange device 42 under test is controlled to start working. When the heating power of the heat storage heat exchange device 42 under test is ≥ the preset power value P, the timing starts; since the heat storage heat exchange device has a temperature protector, the heat storage material in the heat storage heat exchange device under test will gradually heat up. When the temperature of the heat storage material is ≥ the preset heating temperature t1, the temperature protector will cut off the circuit, and the heat storage heat exchange device 42 under test will stop working; the time required for the heat storage material to heat up from room temperature to the preset heating temperature is recorded to obtain the heating time, which is set as T1. The smaller T1 is, the better the heating performance of the heating body and the better the thermal conductivity of the heat storage material.

[0058] Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the heat storage mode is executed, the second output port of the third valve body 21 is always kept open. Since the heat exchange straight tube of the heat storage heat exchange device is in contact with the heat storage material, if the design temperature of the heat storage material is higher than 100°C, the water remaining in the heat exchange straight tube will be heated into water vapor. The water vapor needs to be discharged from the outlet of the heat storage heat exchange device 42 under test, the second output port of the third valve body 21, and the fourth valve body 22 to the external collection device in sequence to ensure the stability and safety of the entire detection process.

[0059] Furthermore, the control and adjustment of the working states of the conveying mechanism and the exhaust mechanism, so that the heat storage and heat exchange performance testing system switches to exhaust mode, specifically includes:

[0060] 301. The first valve body 11 of the control conveying mechanism is opened, the second valve body 13 is opened, and the conveying pump 12 starts to work;

[0061] 302. The first output port of the third valve body 21 and the fifth valve body 23 of the exhaust mechanism are closed, and the input port and the second output port of the third valve body 21 are opened, and the fourth valve body 22 is opened, and the heat storage and heat exchange performance detection system is switched to exhaust mode.

[0062] In this embodiment, when the exhaust mode is executed, the delivery pump 12 delivers water from the water supply device 41 to the heat storage heat exchange device 42 under test. The heat storage heat exchange device 42 under test preheats the water to the initial temperature. The high-temperature fluid is discharged sequentially from the outlet of the heat storage heat exchange device 42 under test, the second output port of the third valve body 21, and the fourth valve body 22 to the external collection device. Because this part of the high-temperature fluid may still be water vapor exceeding 100°C, the exhaust mode is set to discharge the high-temperature water vapor, ensuring the stability and safety of the detection process.

[0063] Furthermore, after exhausting the wastewater, controlling and adjusting the working state of the conveying mechanism and the exhaust mechanism to switch the heat storage and heat exchange performance testing system to the heat release mode specifically includes the following steps:

[0064] 401. Obtain the outlet temperature of the heat storage heat exchange device 42 to be tested. When the obtained outlet temperature is less than the preset heat release stop exhaust temperature, it indicates that the exhaust is completed.

[0065] In this embodiment, the preset exothermic stop exhaust temperature is 99°C.

[0066] 402. The first valve body 11 of the control conveying mechanism is opened, the second valve body 13 is opened, and the conveying pump 12 starts to work;

[0067] 403. The second output port of the third valve body 21 and the fourth valve body 22 of the exhaust mechanism are closed, and the input port and the first output port of the third valve body 21 are opened. The fifth valve body 23 is opened, and the heat storage and heat exchange performance detection system is switched to the heat release mode.

[0068] Further, please refer to Figure 2 The detection mechanism includes a water inlet, within which a weighing device 32 for measuring water volume and a temperature measuring device 31 for detecting water temperature are installed. The control mechanism starts operation and executes a heat release timing process, acquiring the detection results fed back by the mechanism. When the detection results meet preset heat release conditions, the timing stops, yielding the heat release time. Specifically, this includes:

[0069] 501. The control and detection mechanism starts working and executes the exothermic timing;

[0070] 502. Obtain the real-time water output rate fed back by the weighing device 32 at the time of heat release timing, and set it as Q;

[0071] 503. When the real-time temperature fed back by the temperature measuring device 31 is less than or equal to the preset heat release temperature, stop timing;

[0072] 504. Record the time required for the real-time temperature to drop to the preset heat release temperature to obtain the heat release time.

[0073] In this embodiment, when the heat release mode is executed, the delivery pump 12 delivers water from the water supply device 41 to the heat storage and heat exchange device 42 under test. The heat storage and heat exchange device 42 under test heats the water. The high-temperature fluid is sequentially output from the outlet of the heat storage and heat exchange device 42 under test, the first output port of the third valve body 21, and the fifth valve body 23 to the water intake port. The detection result is obtained through the weighing device 32 and the temperature measuring device 31 set in the water intake port. When the real-time temperature is ≤ the preset heat release temperature t2, the timing is stopped. The time required for the real-time temperature to drop to the preset heat release temperature is recorded to obtain the heat release time, which is set as T2. The larger T2 is, the better the heat storage and heat exchange performance of the heat storage and heat exchange device 42 under test.

[0074] In this embodiment, the heat storage and heat transfer ratio can be calculated using the following formula:

[0075]

[0076] Where η is the heat release / storage heat exchange ratio, in L / W; Q is the real-time water output, in L; α is the outlet water temperature correction coefficient, dimensionless, with a value of 0.6-1.3 depending on the number of heat storage units; t2 is the preset heat release temperature, in °C; γ is the heat release time correction coefficient, dimensionless, with a value of 0.75-0.90 depending on the design value of the outlet water temperature of different heat storage and heat exchange devices; T2 is the heat release time, in s; P is the preset power value, in watts; δ is the heating time correction coefficient, dimensionless, with a value of 0.5-2.5 depending on the type of heating element; T1 is the heating time, in s; β is the heat storage material design temperature correction coefficient, dimensionless, with a value of 0.35-1.95 depending on the type of heat storage material; t1 is the preset heating temperature, in °C.
