AI Technical Summary
Traditional molten salt storage tank electric heating systems have problems such as uneven temperature distribution, local overheating, dead zones in molten salt flow, and lack of intelligent control, resulting in high energy consumption, multiple safety hazards, and difficulty in adapting to dynamic heat load changes during the molten salt phase change process.
A multi-parameter coupling control strategy is adopted, combined with PID algorithm and manifold design, through the circulation of molten salt and intelligent heating modules, to achieve improved temperature uniformity and safety, reduce flow dead zones, and adapt to dynamic heat load changes.
The uniformity of temperature distribution in the molten salt storage tank is improved, energy consumption is reduced, the safety and energy conversion efficiency of the system are enhanced, and the service life of the equipment is extended.
