Abstract:

A platform is designed based on the thermal performance testing methods and testing processes of solid electric heat storage devices proposed in Thermal Storage Electric Heating Devices (GB/T39288—2020). By referring to domestic and foreign standards, the platform can test full working conditions (including the pure heat storage condition, pure heat release condition, and storage and release conditions), with improved the thermal and energy storage performance testing for solid electric heat storage devices. The platform can carry out the standard thermal and energy storage performance test for the solid electric heat storage device by improving the test procedures of GB/T 39288—2020 combined with the heat release testing under both non-heating and heating states. To verify the reliability of the platform, one standard test is conducted on a solid electric heat storage device. The platform records the parameters such as electricity, time, and temperature during the test; draws the temperature curve, heating wire current-voltage curve, and heat output load curve during the test; and calculates the thermal and energy storage performances of the solid electric heat storage through improved and supplemented formulas. Based on the calculation results, the energy storage performance diagram is drawn under the rated thermal output power. The diagram clearly shows the effective release temperature range, energy storage capacity, and energy utilization of the solid electric heat energy storage device. The result of the test is found close to the theoretical value and empirical value, which proves that the platform can be used for self-inspection or teaching by equipment manufacturers. The platform also has the function of displaying user-defined heat load curves. This function can help teachers and learners research and learn solid electric heat energy storage devices under real working conditions.
