摘要:

沸石吸附技术具有储热密度高、工作温度低,长时储热无热损失的优点,在建筑储热供热方面具有广阔的应用前景。反应器作为吸附储热系统的关键部件,其热输出性能不仅与自身结构尺寸有关,还与操作条件密切相关。然而,目前反应器设计变量(结构参数和操作条件)对其热输出性能的影响规律尚不清楚,无法指导反应器的优化设计。因此,本工作首先建立吸附储热反应器数值模型,并分析提出了热输出优化目标,针对反应器设计变量对优化目标的影响开展了敏感性分析。结果表明,入口空气温度和湿度对出口温度影响最为显著,绝对湿度是影响单位体积放热量的最大因素,热输出稳定时间受反应器尺寸长度的正向影响。在此基础上,进一步分析得出设计变量对优化目标的影响规律,确定了反应器设计过程中设计变量的优先级,从而提出了储热反应器的设计方法与流程。

Abstract:

Zeolite adsorption heat storage technology offers several advantages, such as high energy storage density, low operating temperatures, and minimal heat loss during long-term storage, making it a promising solution for thermal energy applications in buildings. The thermal output performance of the reactor, a critical component of adsorption heat storage systems, is significantly influenced by its structural dimensions and operating conditions. However, the influence of the reactor design variables (structural parameters and operating conditions) on thermal output performance remains unclear, limiting effective optimization. In this study, a numerical model of an adsorption heat storage reactor was developed, and the thermal output optimization objectives were proposed. Sensitivity analysis was performed to evaluate the effects of the key design variables on the optimization objectives. The findings revealed that inlet air temperature and humidity significantly influenced outlet temperature, with absolute humidity being the main factor affecting heat release per unit volume. The airflow rate primarily affects the response time of the thermal output. Based on these findings, this study further examines the relationships between the design variables and optimization objectives, establishing the priority of the reactor's design variables. Therefore, a comprehensive design approach and process for heat storage reactors was proposed.
