Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to a variable-viscosity working medium filling system, device and control method, and belongs to the technical field of mechanical engineering. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the increasing complexity and diversification of space missions, the thermal load of on-board single-machine devices is becoming increasingly large. Meanwhile, electronic devices for spacecraft tend to be small, efficient, light and compact, which results in a sharp increase in the heat consumption and heat flux density of single machines for spacecraft, greatly increasing the difficulty of heat dissipation and temperature control of the single machines. For large-heat-consumption single machines and transceiver assemblies that work intermittently, if conventional thermal control technology is used, the mass resources required for heat transport and dissipation channels are considerable, and the compensation power consumption during the non-working period of the single machine is also very high.

[0003] A phase change energy storage device absorbs and releases heat through the melting and solidification of a phase change material, and is often used in spacecraft with periodic changes in internal heat sources or external environments to maintain the relative stability of the temperature of instruments and equipment. In view of the extremely low thermal conductivity and weak heat transfer capacity of the phase change material itself, in recent years, the phase change material has been compounded with a high-thermal-conductivity material to improve its thermal conductivity. High-thermal-conductivity solvent-free carbon nanofluid is a kind of efficient thermal management material. Graphene, carbon nanotubes or carbon black are used as the core-shell structure of high-thermal-conductivity carbon nanomaterials. A flexible organic molecule outer layer is grafted by using surface in-situ acidification, surface grafting and ion exchange method. The carbon nanofluid is low in viscosity and flowable under the condition close to room temperature, has excellent thermal conductivity, a large specific surface area and strong adsorption, and has the advantages of large phase change latent heat, small density and light mass of the phase change material, and is suitable for solving the heat dissipation problem of short-time large-heat-consumption single machines.

[0004] The density of the carbon nanofluid is 1030ˉ1650 kg / m 3 , the specific heat capacity is about 103.5 kJ / kg, the phase change temperature is 30ˉ80℃, the thermal conductivity is 1ˉ40 W / (mK), the viscosity is 10 3 ˉ10 -2 Pa·s (-50ˉ200℃), and the thermal physical parameters of the carbon nanofluid are greatly different from the proportioning of each component. In view of the temperature control requirement of the short-time large-heat-consumption single machine, the carbon-based composite phase change device uses high-thermal-conductivity solvent-free carbon nanofluid material as the main energy storage and heat conduction carrier, uses high-thermal-conductivity expanded graphene to strengthen heat conduction, and uses the latent heat and large specific heat capacity of the nanofluid phase change material to realize the peak clipping and valley filling of heat, so that the temperature rise of the short-time large-heat-consumption single machine can be effectively inhibited, the compensation power consumption required during the non-working period of the single machine can be reduced, and the weight resources and power consumption resources of the satellite can be saved.

[0005] The carbon-based composite phase change device takes carbon nanometer fluid material as a core component, is composed of an upper cover plate, a lower shell and the carbon nanometer fluid material. All joint areas of the upper cover plate and the lower shell are welded through a diffusion process, mainly for packaging the carbon nanometer fluid, and meanwhile, a satellite structure plate and a satellite-borne printed board are combined for structure optimization design, so that the structure interface installation of the phase change energy storage device, the satellite structure plate and the satellite-borne single machine is realized, and the instantaneous large heat dissipation and temperature control requirements of the single machine are met. According to the differences of the filler and the matrix, the filling methods of the phase change energy storage material include vacuum melting pouring, mold powder pressing and porous solution immersion. The solid cold pressing filling has the advantages of low temperature operation, simple operation and low cost, but for irregular filling containers with microstructures, gaps and gases are left, which affects the filling rate and the heat conduction characteristics; the vacuum melting pouring method and the equipment are commonly used for filling the paraffin and n-dodecane working medium, and for filling the high-viscosity carbon nanometer fluid working medium, there are the defects that micro-bubbles of the working medium are difficult to completely remove, the complex cavity is not filled uniformly due to surface tension, and the filling rate control precision is insufficient.
