Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of heat exchange equipment, and more particularly to an immersed salt solution phase change heat exchange device for a combined cooling and heating system. Background Art

[0002] In the energy supply system, heat exchange devices play a vital role. Among them, the immersed heat exchanger, as a device that directly places the heat exchanger in the heat exchange medium, shows multiple advantages such as efficient heat exchange, simple structure and high adaptability. Phase change heat transfer technology achieves efficient thermal management by cleverly utilizing the phase change characteristics of materials in the process of solid-liquid, liquid-gas and other state transitions.

[0003] Existing phase change heat transfer devices used in combined heat and cooling systems often face a challenge during operation: the phase change solution tends to crystallize on the surface of the heat exchanger. This crystallization phenomenon hinders the effective transfer of heat because the crystal layer reduces the heat exchange efficiency between the heat exchanger and the phase change solution that has not undergone phase change. The basic principle of phase change heat transfer is to use the property of substances to absorb or release a large amount of heat during phase change (such as solid to liquid, or liquid to gas) to achieve efficient thermal management. However, once the phase change solution crystallizes on the surface of the heat exchanger, this layer of solid obstacles will hinder the smooth transfer of heat, resulting in a significant decrease in the overall phase change heat transfer efficiency.
