Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of phase change heat storage materials. Specifically, it relates to a composite high-temperature phase change heat storage material and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the acceleration of the industrialization and urbanization processes, the energy situation has become increasingly tense, and the contradiction between energy supply and demand has intensified. Traditional heat storage methods have problems such as low efficiency and high costs. Phase change heat storage materials store and release thermal energy through the phase change process of substances, and have advantages such as high heat storage density and small temperature fluctuations. They have become an important means to solve the problems of energy storage and conversion, and have broad application prospects in the fields of solar energy utilization, power load shifting, and waste heat recovery. Those skilled in the art have conducted in-depth research on this:

[0003] The patented technology of "A Preparation Method of an Inorganic Phase Change Heat Storage Material (CN202410471514.9)". Although the inorganic phase change heat storage gel powder prepared by this technology has advantages such as high thermal conductivity and simple preparation process, it has problems of poor cycle stability and low compressive strength.

[0004] The patented technology of "An Al@AlN-C Composite Core-Shell Structure Phase Change Heat Storage Material and Preparation Method (CN202311658955.1)". This technology uses metallic aluminum as the phase change medium and prepares composite phase change heat storage capsules by the microcapsule method. Although the prepared composite heat storage capsules have a large heat transfer area, there is a lack of effective regulation of the thermal shock stability of the material.

[0005] The patented technology of "A Preparation Method of a Molten Salt Porous Silicon-Based Composite Phase Change Heat Storage Material (CN202110256063.3)". This technology uses molten salt with high latent heat as the phase change heat storage material to solve the problem of easy leakage of molten salt during use. Although it improves the heat storage capacity of the composite material, the composite material has problems such as low thermal conductivity and low compressive strength.

[0006] The patented technology of "A High-Temperature Phase Change Heat Storage Composite Material and Preparation Method Thereof (CN20201X443646.9)".

[0010] Step 1: Mix 52-68 wt% of aluminum sol, 30-40 wt% of silica sol and 2-8 wt% of aluminum fluoride powder evenly to obtain a mixed sol. Immerse the rice husk activated carbon powder in the mixed sol under the condition of a vacuum degree of -0.1 to -0.05 MPa for 30-60 min, then dry it at 100-110 °C for 10-12 h, and then heat-treat it in an air atmosphere at 900-1200 °C for 1-3 h, grind and sieve to obtain porous powder particles containing mullite whiskers with a particle size less than 0.088 mm.

[0011] Step 2: Mix 20-40 wt% of the porous powder particles containing mullite whiskers, 20-40 wt% of sodium chloride powder and 20-60 wt% of potassium chloride powder evenly to obtain mixture I. Heat-treat mixture I in an air atmosphere at 700-900 °C for 2-4 h, grind and sieve to obtain modified eutectic salt powder with a particle size less than 0.088 mm.

[0012] Step 3: Mix 30-40 wt% of alumina micropowder, 8-22 wt% of tabular corundum powder, 40-50 wt% of modified eutectic salt powder and 2-8 wt% of aluminum dihydrogen phosphate powder evenly to obtain mixture II; press mixture II into a mold under the condition of 40-60 MPa, and heat-treat it in an air atmosphere at 700-800 °C for 2-4 h to prepare a composite high-temperature phase change heat storage material.

[0013] The average particle size of the colloidal particles of the aluminum sol is 8-25 nm; the chemical components of the aluminum sol are: the content of Al2(SO4)3 is greater than 14.50 wt%; the pH of the aluminum sol is 7-9.

[0014] The average particle size of the colloidal particles of the silica sol is 8-25 nm; the chemical components of the silica sol are: the content of SiO2 is greater than 25.50 wt%; the pH of the silica sol is 8.5-9.5.

[0017] The particle size of the sodium chloride powder is less than 0.088 mm; the NaCl content of the sodium chloride powder is greater than 99 wt%.

[0018] The particle size of the potassium chloride powder is less than 0.088 mm; the KCl content of the potassium chloride powder is greater than 99 wt%.

[0021] The particle size of the aluminum dihydrogen phosphate powder is less than 0.088 mm; the Al(H2PO4)3 content of the aluminum dihydrogen phosphate is greater than 99 wt%.

[0022] Due to the adoption of the above technical solutions, the present invention has the following positive effects compared with the prior art:

[0023] (1) The present invention defines the particle gradation of the raw materials. Through the binding effect of aluminum dihydrogen phosphate during the heat treatment process of the composite material, the densification of the composite high-temperature phase change heat storage material is promoted, the mechanical properties of the composite high-temperature phase change heat storage material are improved, and the prepared composite high-temperature phase change heat storage material has high compressive strength; at the same time, by defining the particle gradation, the internal pore size of the composite high-temperature phase change heat storage material is small, and mullite whiskers are in-situ synthesized in the inorganic salt, hindering the migration of molten salt at high temperature, and thus it is difficult for the molten salt to leak during the thermal cycle. The prepared composite high-temperature phase change heat storage material has high compressive strength and good cycle stability.

[0024] (2) The present invention utilizes the loss on ignition of rice husk activated carbon and the catalytic characteristics of aluminum fluoride powder during the heat treatment process, fully retains the pore structure of rice husk activated carbon, and enables mullite whiskers to grow with rice husk activated carbon as a template. And during the subsequent heat treatment process, the mullite whiskers further interweave and grow in the inorganic salt, forming a stable network structure, which can relieve the mechanical stress caused by the expansion and contraction of the inorganic salt. Combining with the good thermal shock resistance of mullite whiskers itself, the prepared composite high-temperature phase change heat storage material has excellent thermal shock stability.

[0025] (3) The present invention makes full use of the characteristic of relatively high thermal conductivity of alumina, creates a relatively high degree of densification through particle packing, and effectively improves the heat transfer capacity of the composite high-temperature phase change heat storage material. At the same time, an intertwined whisker structure is formed in the inorganic salt, effectively reducing the interfacial thermal resistance between inorganic salt particles and improving the heat transfer efficiency. The prepared composite high-temperature phase change heat storage material has excellent thermal conductivity.

[0026] The service temperature range of the composite high-temperature phase change heat storage material prepared by the present invention is 600 - 800 °C. The main properties of the composite high-temperature phase change heat storage material are detected as follows: bulk density ≥ 2.73 g / cm 3 ; thermal conductivity ≥ 2.2 W / (m·K); thermal shock stability ≥ 28 times (800 °C, air cooling); compressive strength ≥ 51.3 MPa; no new phase is generated after 100 thermal cycles, and the mass loss rate ≤ 0.11 wt% (600 - 800 °C); heat storage density ≥ 253.3 kJ / kg (600 - 800 °C).

[0027] Therefore, the composite high-temperature phase change heat storage material prepared by the present invention has excellent thermal shock stability, high compressive strength, good cycle stability and excellent thermal conductivity. Specific Embodiments
