Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of powder coatings and radiation cooling materials, specifically relating to a radiation cooling coating material and a method for preparing a radiation cooling double-layer coating that can be scalably prepared based on electrostatic spraying. Background Technology
[0002] Global warming has led to frequent extreme heat events, posing a serious threat to the stable operation of outdoor power facilities. Radiative cooling technology, as a passive cooling method that requires no external energy input, has significant application potential. This technology achieves continuous cooling by efficiently reflecting sunlight (wavelength 0.3–2.5 μm) and primarily utilizing the "atmospheric window" (8–13 μm) to release heat into the low-temperature outer space in the form of infrared radiation. However, current research and applications of radiative cooling technology are mostly concentrated in the field of building energy conservation, aiming to reduce building energy consumption, while research on heat dissipation management for outdoor power equipment is relatively scarce. There are significant differences in their technical approaches: radiative cooling coatings commonly used in the building sector are mostly applied to cement-based surfaces and can achieve excellent cooling performance with the help of high volumetric filler concentrations, but this strategy is difficult to directly transfer to the power equipment scenario. This is because the adhesion between the metal casing and the coating is poor, and the coating needs to withstand various extreme climatic conditions during long-term outdoor exposure. In addition, existing brush-applied radiative cooling coatings usually rely on organic solvents to disperse fillers, which also poses environmental pollution risks. Therefore, developing a radiation-cooling coating material that has strong adhesion to metal substrates, is environmentally friendly, low-cost, and suitable for large-scale preparation is of great value for improving the thermal management capabilities of outdoor power facilities. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the problem that existing radiative cooling technology is difficult to directly apply to the metal casing surface of outdoor power facilities, this invention provides a radiative cooling coating material and a method for preparing a radiative cooling double-layer coating based on the radiative cooling coating material.

[0014] The raw materials for the upper layer are mixed at high speed, melt-extruded by twin screws, and pressed into brittle sheets by cooling rollers. The brittle sheets are then finely ground, sieved, cooled, and packaged to obtain the upper layer powder coating.
[0015] In use, the base powder coating and the top powder coating are successively sprayed onto the surface of the grounded metal workpiece using an electrostatic spray gun, and then heated and cured to form a radiation-cooled double-layer coating. A schematic diagram is shown below. Figure 1 As shown in (a);
[0016] The average particle size D50 of the base powder coating is controlled between 20μm and 30μm, with the content of fine powder with a particle size less than 10μm not exceeding 10% and the content of coarse particles with a particle size greater than 50μm not exceeding 5%, to ensure good fluidity and powder application rate during electrostatic spraying. The base powder coating does not clump or stick under storage and transportation conditions from room temperature to 40℃. When measured on a hot plate at 180℃ to 330℃, its gelation time is 40s to 80s to adapt to the construction requirements of different curing conditions.

The upper powder coating does not clump or stick under storage and transportation conditions from room temperature to 40℃. When measured on a hot plate at 180℃~330℃, its gelation time is 80s to 120s to adapt to the construction requirements of different curing conditions.
[0018] Further technical solutions for radiation-cooling coating materials are as follows:

[0020] The extrusion temperature of the twin-screw melt extrusion is 100–330°C.
[0021] Fine grinding is carried out in a high-speed pulverizer at a speed of 20,000–26,000 rpm, a feed rate of 20–50 kg / h, and a cold air temperature of ≤15℃; sieving is carried out in a fully enclosed vibrating screen or rotary screen at a screen mesh of 160–200 mesh, with continuous sieving and a sealed and moisture-proof material collection system.
[0022] The preparation steps for fabricating a radiation-cooling bilayer coating based on radiation-cooling coating materials are as follows:
[0023] (1) Pre-treat the surface of the metal workpiece by degreasing and rust removal to thoroughly remove oil and oxide scale from the surface of the metal workpiece, and thoroughly wash and dry it with water; and ground the clean metal workpiece.
[0024] (2) The bottom layer powder coating and the top layer powder coating are respectively delivered to different electrostatic spray guns by compressed air; the bottom layer powder coating is first sprayed onto the surface of the grounded metal workpiece through the spray gun, and then heated and shaped for the first time to obtain the bottom layer on the surface of the metal workpiece;
[0025] (3) The upper powder coating is sprayed onto the surface of the lower layer using a spray gun, and then heated and shaped a second time to obtain the upper layer on the surface of the lower layer. The lower and upper layers are cured to form a radiation-cooled double-layer coating. The thickness of the radiation-cooled double-layer coating is 150-300 micrometers, and its coating structure diagram is shown below. Figure 1 As shown in (b);
[0026] The weighted average reflectivity of the radiation-cooling double-layer coating is greater than 0.90 in the solar radiation band of 0.3–2.5 μm, and the average emissivity is greater than 0.96 in the atmospheric window band of 8–13 μm. According to GB / T 9286, the coating adhesion is tested and the cross-cut test result is ≤1. According to GB / T 1771, the coating's salt spray resistance is tested and the unidirectional corrosion spread width at the crisscross mark is ≤2.0 mm after 1000 h of neutral salt spray testing. According to GB / T 1865, the coating's resistance to artificial weathering is tested and after 500 h of exposure, the coating's discoloration level is ≤2, with no abnormal phenomena such as chalking, blistering, cracking, or peeling.
[0027] The further preparation technology for the radiation-cooled double-layer coating is as follows:
[0028] In steps (2) and (3), the electrostatic spraying process conditions are the same: the spraying voltage is 60-90 kV, the atomizing pressure is 0.2-0.8 atmospheres, the spray gun distance is 100-300 mm, and the spray gun moving speed is 0.1-0.5 m / s.
[0029] In step (2), the oven temperature for the first heating and shaping is 100-330℃, and the baking time is 1-3 minutes.
[0030] In step (2), the thickness of the bottom layer is 100 to 200 micrometers.
[0031] In step (3), the oven temperature for the second heating and shaping is 100-330℃, and the baking time is 10-15 minutes.
[0032] In step (3), the thickness of the upper layer is 50 to 100 micrometers.
[0033] The beneficial technical effects of this invention are reflected in the following aspects:
[0034] 1. This invention provides a design concept for a scalable double-layer radiation-cooling coating based on electrostatic spraying. The bottom layer mainly reflects solar radiation in the visible to near-infrared band, while the top layer reflects solar radiation in the ultraviolet band and provides high emissivity characteristics in the mid- and far-infrared bands. The two layers work together to achieve a weighted average reflectivity greater than 0.90 in the solar radiation band of 0.3–2.5 μm and an average emissivity greater than 0.96 in the atmospheric window band of 8–13 μm. Its innovative mechanism lies in the following: the lower titanium dioxide layer, with its extremely high refractive index, achieves efficient reflection of solar radiation in the visible to near-infrared bands, blocking heat input at the source; the upper zirconium oxide / alumina / boron nitride / barium sulfate layer performs a dual function. On the one hand, it utilizes its inherent high infrared emission characteristics to achieve an emissivity exceeding 0.96 in the 8–13 μm atmospheric window, radiating heat to outer space to the extreme; on the other hand, as a stable wide-bandgap material, it can strongly reflect ultraviolet rays and form a dense physical barrier, overcoming the defects of traditional titanium dioxide coatings that are prone to photoaging. The addition of barium sulfate can also significantly reduce the cost of the coating. This design of vertical decoupling of functions and integration of advantages allows the surface temperature of the metal shell coating to be 3–6°C lower than the ambient temperature in sunny and dry weather, with a net cooling power of 40–150 watts per square meter. When applied to the surface of power equipment, it can significantly reduce the internal surface temperature and enhance the operational stability in high-temperature outdoor environments. In addition, the radiation cooling coating material of this invention is easy to prepare in a large area and uniformly through electrostatic spraying, with stable and scalable cooling performance, perfectly adaptable to outdoor power equipment of different sizes.
[0035] 2. The preparation method of this invention is highly compatible with existing production lines. The preparation method of the radiation-cooled double-layer coating has the outstanding advantages of low cost, high efficiency, and ease of large-scale production. Moreover, it adopts electrostatic spraying as the core process, which has the characteristics of high material utilization and low pollution. It can achieve a clean and environmentally friendly preparation process, providing a solid technical foundation for the rapid implementation and promotion of new productive forces.
