摘要:

相变蓄冷技术应用于冷库中,不仅可以利用谷电蓄冷产生经济效益,同时可以有效控制冷库温度,减少温度波动对果蔬造成的损失。本工作研制了一种相变温度可调、安全无害的麦芽糖醇/水低温相变材料。该材料根据麦芽糖醇配比的不同(质量分数1%~5%),可实现相变温度和相变潜热在0.73~1.62 ℃和281.43~325.82 J/g的范围可调。鉴于该材料存在的过冷问题,通过添加质量分数为1.2%的四硼酸钠作为成核剂,可将过冷度缓解至1.09 ℃。通过数值模拟研究蓄冷板的布置形式对冷库内温度分布和蓄冷时长的影响,发现顶置+侧置的蓄冷板布置形式相比顶置式和侧置式具有更好的储冷保鲜效果。此外,底部架空的货物布置方式可进一步延长对果蔬的保鲜时间。本工作结合材料研发和模拟研究表明,相变蓄冷技术可有效转移峰电时期的用能负荷,实现16 h的离网保鲜运行。

Abstract:

With the continuous increase in the demand for high-quality fruits and vegetables, the cost of cold storage operations has become a significant concern owing to its high energy consumption. To address this issue, phase-change storage technology has been integrated with traditional cold storage to reduce operational costs. Specifically, the cold storage material is charged during off-peak hours using valley power, thereby permitting power-free operation during peak hours. To ensure high quality and safety standards for the preservation process, a low-temperature phase change material with an adjustable phase change temperature is developed. In addition, the effects of the arrangement of cold storage panels and placement of goods on the storage temperature are investigated using numerical simulations, and a cold storage system capable of operating without electricity for 16 hours is designed. The results demonstrate the potential of phase-change storage technology to significantly reduce the energy consumption and costs associated with cold storage operations for preserving fruits and vegetables while simultaneously maintaining product quality and safety.

Key words: phase change materials, cold storage, power-free operation
