To strengthen the heat and mass transfer capacity and improve the temperature regulation rate, potential storage is taken as the research object in this research to study the heat energy storage of the battery in the low temperature environment. Lattice Boltzmann method is adopted to study the heat energy storage influence mechanism of the temperature regulation system of the low temperature phase-change materials. In addition, the influence of different physical parameters (thermal conductivity and latent heat of phase change) on the thermal insulation of the system in the process of temperature control is revealed. The results show that the mechanism of heat and mass transfer in the process of heat storage and temperature control is related to the different physical properties of phase change materials. The decrease of thermal conductivity and the increase of latent heat of phase change materials will greatly increase the effect of heat energy storage. Therefore, under the action of phase change latent heat, phase change material can effectively extend the holding time of the battery in the low temperature environment.

Today, due to the reduction of energy resources in the world and its pollutants, energy storage methods and increase the thermal efficiency of various systems are very important. In this research, the thermal efficiency and energy storage of two heat exchangers have been investigated in series using phase change materials (RT82) and single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) and graphene quantum dot nanoparticles (GQD) In this research, two heat exchangers have been used in combination. The first heat exchanger was in charge of storing thermal energy and the second heat exchanger was in charge of heat exchange. The reason for this is to improve the heat exchange of the main exchanger (shell and tube) by using heat storage in the secondary exchanger, which has not been addressed in previous research. The results of this study showed that using two heat exchangers in series, the thermal efficiency of the system has increased. Also, the heat energy storage of the double tube heat exchanger was obtained using phase change materials in the single-walled carbon nanotube composition of about 3000 W. The average thermal efficiency of the two heat exchangers as the series has increased by 52%. In general, the effect of the two heat exchangers on each other was investigated in series with two approaches (energy storage and energy conversion) using fin and nanoparticles, which obtained convincing results.

Storage Characteristics

Heat energy storage characteristics of a new type of PCM heat exchange tube was researched, in which it took the traditional double-tube exchanger as the total construction foundation and phase change material(CaCl2•6H2O) was filled in the annular area between the inner tube and the outer tube. As air with different temperatures flowed through the PCM heat exchange tube, temperature measurements were carried out at the inlet and the outlet by the experimental system. The experimental results showed that, a new type of PCM heat exchange tube could store heat energy from the hot air by the phase change material in the annular area, and discharge the stored heat energy into the required fluid if necessary. Thus it has two functions of heat exchange and heat energy storage, and is mainly suitable for recovery and utilizations of heat energy in greenhouses, buildings, air conditioning and manifold industrial afterheat or waste heat.

Latent heat energy storage is becoming more and more attractive for energy conservation of buildings. Phase change materials (PCMs) can be applied in building envelopes to conserve heat energy in building products. The technology of PCMs is efficient and economical due to the rising cost of fossil fuels and environmental concerns. In this paper, binary organic/inorganic nano-composite PCM by intercalation compound is prepared, preparation conditions are studied systematically; and structural analysis and characterization of performance are conducted. The results obtained show that a good potential for heating and cooling is in building through nano-composite PCM and overcomes weaknesses and deficiencies of pure PCMs. A simple modification of binary organic/inorganic nano-composite PCM is discussed firstly. Secondly, the various influencing factors of thermal storage capacity are discussed. The optimum experimental conditions for preparation of organic/inorganic nano-composite PCM are, 55%~60% for the content of organic substances, 5h for the preparation time, 70~80°C for the preparation tem. and 60~120 mesh for the best granularity of composite PCM.
