Through multiple layers of insulation materials and structures, it effectively maintains the internal temperature of the molten salt tank and prevents heat loss. It is widely used in solar thermal power plants, industrial thermal energy storage, and clean energy supply stations.
[0003] The main function of an insulated shell for molten salt tanks is to maintain a stable internal temperature, prevent heat loss, and ensure the efficient operation of high-temperature molten salt energy storage systems. It effectively isolates the internal and external environmental temperature exchange and reduces heat loss by employing multi-layered insulation materials and structures. In existing technologies, some insulated shells suffer from uneven heat source distribution within the molten salt tank, leading to temperature imbalances, reduced system efficiency, and thermal stress on working components, resulting in material fatigue and shortened equipment lifespan. Therefore, an insulated shell for molten salt tanks is proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0021] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0022] 1. In this utility model, by turning on the temperature controller and the electric heating tube, the temperature controller detects the internal temperature of the molten salt tank. When the temperature drops, the heat transfer oil is heated, and the heat transfer oil expands into the heating water pipe. The electric heating tube heats the molten salt tank and transfers the heat through the heat transfer pipe to the inside of the molten salt tank, thereby controlling the internal temperature of the molten salt tank to remain constant. This achieves the goal of keeping the internal temperature of the molten salt tank constant, reducing energy waste caused by temperature fluctuations and thermal stress on the internal structure of the molten salt tank.

A heat storage port 5 is fixedly connected inside the connecting shell 4. The heat storage port 5 is used to receive excess heat inside the molten salt tank, store it, and release it when needed, realizing heat reuse and improving energy utilization.
[0032] A heat release port 6 is fixedly connected inside the connecting shell 4. The heat release port 6 is used to release the stored heat to meet the heat requirements of the molten salt tank under different working conditions and ensure the normal operation of the molten salt tank. A fixed shell 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting shell 4. The fixed shell 7 plays a protective and fixing role to prevent damage to internal components.

The heat accumulator 11 is used to further store and regulate the heat inside the molten salt tank, so that the heat distribution is more uniform and the working efficiency of the molten salt tank is improved.
[0033] A heat exchanger 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the top shell 10. The heat exchanger 12 is used to release the stored heat as needed to meet the heat requirements of the molten salt tank under different working conditions and ensure the stable operation of the molten salt tank. An electric heating tube 18 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting shell 4. The electric heating tube 18 is an auxiliary heating device that can provide additional heat when the internal temperature of the molten salt tank is insufficient, ensuring the normal operation of the molten salt tank. A conductive tube 19 is sleeved on the outside of the electric heating tube 18.

This second insulation layer 16 is made of extruded polystyrene board, possessing excellent insulation performance and good water resistance, effectively preventing heat loss through the bottom and improving the overall insulation effect. A first insulation layer 15 is also fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner box 17. This first insulation layer 15 is made of foamed polyurethane, has a closed-cell structure, and effectively prevents heat loss through the bottom. Together with the second insulation layer 16, it forms a double insulation barrier. A heat insulation layer 14 is also fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner box 17.

The connecting shell 1 4 is made of porous ceramic material, which has good high temperature resistance and heat insulation properties, effectively reducing heat loss through the connecting shell 1 4 and improving the overall heat preservation effect. Heat transfer oil is introduced into the heating water pipe 3. As a heat transfer medium, the heat transfer oil can circulate in the heating water pipe 3 to transfer heat to the molten salt tank, thereby maintaining the temperature inside the molten salt tank. The temperature is stable. The interior of the fixed shell 7 has a slot 13 for accommodating electronic devices such as the heating element 18, which facilitates their installation and fixation. The bottom of the heating element 18 is fixedly connected to the interior of the slot 13. The outer wall of the insulation layer 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the insulation layer 14.

The outer wall of the heating water pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the interior of the insulation layer 16. The outer wall of the heating water pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the interior of the inner box 17.
[0036] Working principle: When in use, by turning on the temperature controller 2 and the electric heating tube 18, the temperature controller 2 detects the internal temperature of the molten salt tank. When it detects a drop in temperature, it heats the heat transfer oil, which expands into the heating water pipe 3. Meanwhile, the electric heating tube 18 heats the oil and transfers the heat to the inside of the molten salt tank through the heat transfer pipe, thereby controlling the internal temperature of the molten salt tank to remain constant.
[0037] During heat dissipation, the heat first passes through insulation layer 2 16, which is made of extruded polystyrene board material. It has excellent thermal insulation performance and good water resistance, effectively preventing heat loss through insulation layer 2 16. Insulation layer 15 is made of foamed polyurethane material with a closed-cell structure, which can effectively prevent heat loss through the bottom. Then, the heat insulation layer 14 is passed through insulation layer 14, which is made of aerogel insulation material. It has extremely low thermal conductivity and good high temperature resistance, which can effectively prevent external heat from entering and ensure the stability of the internal temperature.
