The invention provides a
phase change heat storage
system and method based on two-phase
contact heat exchange, and relates to the technical field of
heat energy storage. The
system comprises a high-temperature
liquid storage tank, a low-temperature particle
storage tank, a heat-carrying liquid loop, a connecting pipeline and a switching valve, a heat exchange pipeline, a liquid-carrying
heat pump, a heater / radiator and a separator are arranged on the heat-carrying liquid loop to form a complete loop, the high-temperature
liquid storage tank is connected to the heat exchange pipeline, and the low-temperature particle
storage tank is connected with the heat exchange pipeline and the separator. During heat storage, the low-temperature particles and the high-temperature heat-carrying liquid are in direct contact for heat exchange in the heat exchange pipeline, and the particles are melted into liquid and then stored in the high-temperature
liquid storage tank; during heat release, high-temperature liquid is granulated into liquid drops through the
nozzle, the liquid drops make direct contact with low-temperature heat-carrying liquid in the heat exchange pipeline for heat exchange, and the liquid drops are solidified into particles and then stored in the low-temperature particle
storage tank. Through liquid-liquid and liquid-
solid two-phase direct
contact heat exchange, the
heat transfer efficiency is improved, the problems of complexity and cost caused by
phase change material packaging are solved, and the heat storage device is suitable for large-scale heat storage application.
