Heat Removal From A Large Scale Warm Water Storage

Kayserilioglu, Yavuz Selim 01 August 2004 (has links) (PDF)
ABSTRACT HEAT REMOVAL FROM A LARGE SCALE WARM WATER STORAGE Kayserilioglu, Yavuz Selim M.S., Department of Mechanical Engineering Supervisor: Prof. Dr. R&uuml / knettin Oskay August 2004, 88 Pages A preliminary experimental study was performed in order to investigate the charging and heat removal characteristics of a sensible heat storage. Two sets of experiments were performed at two aspect ratios. Heat removal processes of these two sets were different while the charging processes were similar. In the first set of experiments, after the charging of the storage unit with relatively warm water was complete, heat removal process was started with simple heat exchangers from different elevations within the storage while the charging of the storage unit was continued. In the second set of experiments, after the charging of the storage unit was complete, heat removal from the storage unit was started without further charging of the storage unit. Charging water was fed into the storage from the top of one side and relatively colder water was drained from the bottom of the opposite side. Internal heat exchangers were used for the heat removal. Vertical temperature profile developments during the charging and heat removal periods were investigated. Thermal stratification was observed in all experiments. Heat exchangers extracted heat from different elevations in different experiments and the trend was that more heat can be extracted in upper elevations. Comparable heat can be extracted from the same elevation of lower and higher aspect ratio. Keywords: Sensible Heat Storage, Heat Removal, Thermal Stratification, Warm Water Storage

Enhancing the energy storage capability of electric domestic hot water tanks

Armstrong, Peter Michael January 2015 (has links)
Electric hot water tanks play a pivotal role as demand response assets within the UK's energy system by storing heat when energy is inexpensive and delivering domestic hot water when it is required. This role will become increasingly important if non-dispatchable renewable energy sources are to play a bigger part in the energy mix. Historically, the design standards relating to hot water tanks have focused primarily on minimising heat losses. However, in addition to preserving energy, a hot water tank should preserve the availability of heat above a useful temperature for as long as possible to avoid energy usage during peak times when it is costly or carbon intensive. To do this, thermal stratification within hot water tanks must be promoted. Unfortunately, thermal stratification leads to conditions that are conducive to bacterial growth due to the hospitable temperatures that arise during operation. For this reason, question marks have arisen over the extent to which more flexible control strategies, designed to allow for increasing penetrations of intermittent renewable energy sources, might lead to the growth of pathogenic bacteria within hot water tanks. The objective of the work discussed in this thesis was to understand the extent to which there is a conflict between thermal stratification and bacterial growth in practice, whether this conflict can be resolved and the potential implications for electric hot water tanks operating on a time of use tariff. A small field study demonstrated that there is prolific bacterial growth within conventional electric cylinders and that this can be attributed to thermal stratification with a confidence of (P<0.01). Fitting a de-stratification pump, to enhance sanitary performance, resulted in a 19% decrease in the recovery of useable hot water above 43°C. Given that the tanks tested during the field study were made of copper, the consequences of alternative material choices on thermal performance were explored. It was found that the rate of useable hot water loss, due to de-stratification associated with thermal diffusion across the thermocline, could be reduced by a factor of 2.7 by making the tank liner wall from stainless steel instead of copper. Further numerical work indicated that this improvement in stratifying performance was most significant for small tanks with high aspect ratios. In addition to de-stratification that arises due to vertical conduction, de-stratification due to inlet mixing was reduced by up to 30% by installing a spiral diffuser into the base of a test cylinder. In addition, by lowering the immersion heating element to ensure there is sufficient heat transfer to the base of the cylinder, sterilising temperatures could be attained throughout the stored volume of water in the tank during heating. This showed that the conflict between thermal and sanitary performance within electric tanks could potentially be resolved. A bespoke tank, made from stainless steel and fitted with a diffuser, was built and subjected to typical draw cycles that reflect real world operation. These tests showed that more useable hot water could be delivered in comparison to a commercial off the shelf copper tank and consequently the utilisation of the Economy 7 time of use tariff would be enhanced.

Étude et modélisation des systèmes de stockage thermique de type régénératif solide/fluide / Study and modeling of regenerative solid/fluid heat storage systems

Esence, Thibaut 07 November 2017 (has links)
Cette étude porte sur les systèmes de stockage thermique régénératif dont le principe consiste à stocker de l’énergie sous forme de chaleur sensible dans un lit fixe. Le système est chargé et déchargé à l’aide d’un fluide caloporteur circulant à travers le lit fixe. Ce type de système est prometteur pour réduire le coût des infrastructures de stockage, par exemple dans les centrales solaires thermodynamiques. Cependant, le pilotage de ces systèmes est relativement complexe car leur fonctionnement est régi par divers phénomènes et met en jeux plusieurs modes de transfert de chaleur. Leur identification a permis de développer un modèle numérique monodimensionnel constitué d’une équation de continuité et de trois équations d’énergie : une pour le fluide caloporteur, une pour le solide du lit fixe et une pour les parois du réservoir. Les études expérimentales réalisées sur trois systèmes différents (un système huile/roches+sable, un système gaz/roches et un système gaz/céramique structuré en canaux), ainsi que des résultats issus de la littérature ont permis de valider le modèle proposé dans une large gamme de configurations. Le modèle s’avère notamment capable de traiter les fluides caloporteurs liquides ou gazeux et les lits fixes structurés en canaux ou constitués de milieux granulaires à granulométrie simple ou double. / This study deals with regenerative heat storage systems which aim to store sensible heat in a packed bed. The system is charged and discharged thanks to a heat transfer fluid which circulates through the packed bed. This kind of system is promising to reduce the cost of heat storage facilities, for example in concentrated solar power plants. However, the operation of these systems is relatively complex because their thermal behavior is governed by several phenomena and heat transfer modes. Thanks to the identification of these mechanisms, a one-dimensional numerical model consisting of one continuity equation and three energy conservation equations has been developed. There is one energy equation for the heat transfer fluid, one for the packed bed and one for the walls of the tank. The experimental studies carried out on three different systems (an oil/rock+sand system, a gas/rock system and a structured gas/ceramic system) and experimental results from the literature have enabled to validate the model in various configurations. The model is able to deal with liquid or gaseous heat transfer fluids and with structured packed beds with channels or granular packed beds with uniformly sized particles or particles of two different sizes.

Thermal energy storage in residential buildings : a study of the benefits and impacts

Abedin, Joynal January 2017 (has links)
Residential space and water heating accounts for around 13% of the greenhouse gas emissions of the UK. Reducing this is essential for meeting the national emission reduction target of 80% by 2050 from the 1990 baseline. One of the strategies adopted for achieving this is focused around large scale shift towards electrical heating. This could lead to unsustainable disparity between the daily peak and off-peak electricity loads, large seasonal variation in electricity demands, and challenges of matching the short and long term supply with the demands. These challenges could impact the security and resilience of UK electricity supply, and needs to be addressed. Rechargeable Thermal Energy Storage (TES) in residential buildings can help overcome these challenges by enabling Heat Demand Shifts (HDS) to off-peak times, reducing the magnitude of the peak loads, and the difference between the peak and off-peak loads. To be effective a wide scale uptake of TES would be needed. For this to happen, the benefits and impacts of TES both for the demand side and the supply side have to be explored, which could vary considerably given the diverse physical, thermal, operational and occupancy characteristics of the UK housing stock. A greater understanding of the potential consequence of TES in buildings is necessary. Such knowledge could enable appropriate policy development to help drive the uptake of TES or to encourage development of alternative solutions. Through dynamic building simulation in TRNSYS, this work generated predictions of the space and water heating energy and power demands, and indoor temperature characteristics of the UK housing stock. Twelve building archetypes were created consisting of: Detached, semi-detached, mid-terrace and flat built forms with thermal insulation corresponding to the 1990 building regulation, and occupied floor areas of 70m2, 90m2 and 150m2. Typical occupancy and operational conditions were used to create twelve Base Case scenarios, and simulations performed for 60 winter days from 2nd January. HDS of 2, 3 and 4 hours from the grid peak time of 17:00 were simulated with sensible TES system sizes of 0.25m3, 0.5m3 and 0.75m3, and water storage temperatures of 75°C and 95°C. Parametric analysis were performed to determine the impacts and benefits of: thermal insulation equivalent to 1980, 1990 (Base Case), 2002 and 2010 building regulation; locations of Gatwick (Base Case) and Aberdeen; heating durations of 6, 9 (Base Case), 12 and 16 hours per day; thermostat settings of 19°C, 21°C (Base Case) and 23°C, and number of occupiers of 1 person and 3 persons (Base Case) per household. Good correlation was observed between the simulated results and published heat energy consumption data for buildings with similar thermal, physical, occupancy and operational conditions. The results allowed occupied space temperatures and overall daily and grid peak time energy consumption to be predicted for the range of building archetypes and parameter values considered, and the TES size necessary for a desired HDS to be determined. The main conclusions drawn include: The overall daily energy consumption predictions varied from 36.8kWh to 159.7kWh. During the critical grid peak time (17:00 to 21:00) the heat consumption varied from 4.2kWh to 58.7kWh, indicating the range of energy demands which could be shifted to off-peak times. On average, semi-detached, mid-terrace, and flat built forms consumed 7.0%, 13.8% and 22.7% less energy for space heating than the detached built form respectively. Thermal insulation changing from the 1990 building regulation level to the 1980 and 2010 building regulation levels could change the mean energy use by +14.7% and -19.6% respectively. A 0.25m3 TES size with 75°C water storage temperature could enable a 2 hour HDS, shifting 4.3kWh to 11.7kWh (mean 8.7kWh) to off peak times, in all 70m2 Base Case archetypes with the 60 day mean thermal comfort of 100%, but with the minimum space temperature occasionally dropping below an 18°C thermal comfort limit. A 0.5m3 TES size and water storage of 95°C could allow a 3 hour HDS, shifting 9.8kWh to 28.2kWh (mean 18.7kWh) to off peak times, in all 90m2 Base Case archetypes without thermal comfort degradation below 18°C. A 0.75m3 TES with a 95°C water temperature could provide 4 hour HDS, shifting 13.9kWh to 47.7kWh (mean 27.2kWh) to off peak times, in all 150m2 Base Case archetypes with 100% mean thermal comfort but with the 60 day minimum temperature occasionally dropping below the 18°C thermal comfort limit in the detached built form. Improving the thermal insulation of the buildings was found to be the best way to improve the effectiveness of HDS with TES, in terms of the demand shift period achievable with minimal thermal comfort impact. A 4 hour HDS with 100% thermal comfort is possible in all 90m2 floor area buildings with a 0.25m3 tank and a water storage temperature of 75°C provided that the thermal insulation is as per 2010 building regulation. Recommendations for further research include: 1) creating larger number of archetype models to reflect the housing stock; 2) using heat pumps as the heat source so that the mean effect on the grid from electric heating loads can be predicted; 3) taking into account the costs associated with taking up HDS with TES, in terms of capital expenses and space requirement for housing the TES system; 4) considering alternative methods of heat storage such as latent heat storage to enhance the storage capacity per unit volume; and 5) incorporating zonal temperature control, for example, only heating rooms that are occupied during the demand shift period, which could ensure better thermal comfort in the occupied space and extend the demand shift period.

Etude de la convection naturelle et de la stratification thermique dans une cavité inclinée et chauffée au milieu : application aux capteurs solaires autostockeurs / Study of convection and stratification inside a tilted cavity heated with a constant heat flux : applications to integrated collector-storage solar water heaters

Swiatek, Marie 06 November 2015 (has links)
La réglementation thermique sur les bâtiments en France impose le recours aux énergies renouvelables. L'énergie solaire, à la fois thermique et photovoltaïque, présente un grand potentiel en termes de disponibilité. Néanmoins, du fait de son caractère intermittent, des systèmes de stockage associés sont nécessaires. Pour ce qui est des systèmes solaires thermiques, les capteurs solaires intégrant le stockage (CSIS) ont pour avantages une grande simplicité ainsi que des coûts réduits comparés à des systèmes plus classiques. Ils permettent également d'éviter la problématique de la mise en place du stockage, les rendant ainsi adaptés à la rénovation énergétique.Le présent travail de thèse étudie les phénomènes de convection naturelle dans une cavité fermée à haut rapport de forme (H/L = 13) représentant le réservoir de stockage d'un CSIS. Dans un premier temps, un état de l'art des systèmes existants ainsi qu'une étude bibliographique de l'étude de ces systèmes et des phénomènes s'y déroulant sont réalisés. Il y est mis en évidence l'importance de la stratification des températures au sein du réservoir pour l'amélioration des performances globales du système. Dans un second temps, une étude expérimentale de la cavité est effectuée pour la compréhension des écoulements liés à la mise en place d'une stratification thermique satisfaisante, ainsi que des paramètres pouvant l'influencer. Dans cette étude, une plaque de stratification est ajoutée à l'intérieur de la cavité pour canaliser le fluide chaud ascendant, limitant ainsi le brassage. La zone de chauffe représentant l'échange entre la boucle solaire et le réservoir est placée au milieu de la face supérieure du système, résultant en une bonne stratification. Un écoulement inverse est observé au niveau de la sortie de ce canal. Ce phénomène est principalement responsable de l'écart de température obtenu entre le haut et le bas du système. Une étude numérique CFD du système a donc été conduite pour étudier l'influence de différents paramètres sur le comportement thermique et de l'écoulement. La diminution de l'écoulement inverse permet une meilleure circulation du fluide dans la globalité du système. Afin de déterminer si la stratification thermique observée dans le système de stockage conduit à une performance énergétique annuelle satisfaisante du capteur auto-stockeur, une modélisation nodale a été effectuée. Différents paramètres tels que la position de la zone d'échange entre le collecteur et le réservoir de stockage, ou encore l'épaisseur de l'isolant ont été étudiés pour quantifier leur influence sur les performances du système complet. / Thermal regulation for dwellings in France makes the resort to renewable energy mandatory. Solar energy has an important potential regarding its availability, for both thermal and photovoltaic applications. However, due to its intermittency, there is a need for a storing device. Concerning solar thermal systems, Integrated Collector Storage Solar Water Heaters (ICSSWH) have the advantage of a simple design and use combined with reduced costs compared to more classical devices. These systems also enable to avoid the problem of finding space for the installation of a storage system in an existing building, making them more suitable for energy renovation of houses.This present work studies the phenomena of natural convection in an enclosed cavity with high aspect ratio (H/L = 13) representing the storage of an ICSSWH. Firstly, a state of the art of existing systems as well as a literature review of these systems and of the phenomena occurring in them are conducted. The importance of thermal stratification inside the storage tank for the increase of global efficiency for the whole system is highlighted. Secondly, an experimental study of the cavity is performed to understand the fluid flow linked to the satisfying stratification obtained in the system, and find the parameters influencing it. In the experimental setup, a stratification plate is added inside the cavity to harness the ascending hot flow, hence limiting the mixing of fluid which is responsible for the destratification. The heated zone, which represents the exchange between the solar collector and the storage, is placed in the middle of the upper wall of the system, resulting in a good thermal stratification. A reverse flow can be observed at the channel outlet, which is the main parameter for the high temperature difference obtained between the top and the bottom of our system. A CFD study of the experimented system is then conducted to determine the influence of several parameters on the thermal and fluid flow behavior of the system. The decrease of reverse flow allows a better loop of the fluid in the whole cavity. In order to discover whether the thermal stratification observed in the storage leads to a better annual efficiency for the whole ICSSWH, a nodal model is used. Several parameters such as the position of the heat exchange zone between the collector and the storage or the insulation thickness are studied to quantify their influence on thermal stratification, and hence on the overall efficiency of the system.

Foram avaliados dez bovinos da raça Guzerá, cinco machos e cinco fêmeas, com média de vinte meses, alojados em baias individuais, protegidos da radiação solar. A frequência respiratória, volume respiratório corrente, a produção de calor metabólico e a perda de calor latente via sistema respiratório, foram determinados usando um sistema de calorimetria indireta, com o auxílio de uma máscara facial. Simultaneamente, foram analisadas a temperatura retal (TR), temperatura da epiderme (TEP), temperatura do pelame (TS), temperatura do ar expirado (TEXP), além das variáveis meteorológicas, temperatura do ar (TA), umidade relativa (UR), radiação solar (RS), e temperatura radiante média (TRM). Também foram determinados os fluxos de calor por radiação e convecção. As temperaturas do ar expirado, do pelame e da epiderme, se mostraram dependentes da temperatura do ar, aumentando de 28 a 35°C, 31 a 38°C e 33 a 38°C, respectivamente, quando a temperatura do ar aumentou de 25 para 34°C, enquanto que a temperatura retal foi dependente da hora do dia. A produção de calor metabólico apresentou média de 115 e 155 W m-2 , para machos e fêmeas, respectivamente, e não se alterou com o aumento da temperatura do ar (25-34°C), o mesmo ocorreu para a emissão de metano e a frequência respiratória, para ambos os sexos. Este fato pode ser explicado pela capacidade de bovinos zebu estocarem calor. / The aim of this study was to validate the conditioning of animals and the development of research aimed at understanding the responses of the thermal equilibrium of Guzerá cattle (Bos indicus), as a result of weather variations throughout the day in a tropical environment and the methane emission. Evaluated ten Guzerat cattle, five males and five females, with an average of twenty months, housed in individual pens, protected from direct solar radiation. The respiratory rate, tidal respiratory volume, metabolic heat production and loss of latent heat via the respiratory system, were determined using an indirect calorimetry system with the aid of a facial mask. At the same time, we analyzed the rectal temperature (TR), skin surface temperature (TEP), hair coat temperature (TS), expired air temperature (TEXP), besides meteorological variables, air temperature (TA), relative humidity (UR) , solar radiation (RS), and mean radiant temperature (TRM). It was also determined heat flow by radiation and convection. The expired air temperature, hair coat temperature and skin surface temperature, proved to be dependent on air temperature, adding 28 to 35 ° C, 31 to 38 ° C and 33 to 38 ° C, respectively, when the air temperature increased from 25 to 34 ° C. While the rectal temperature is dependent on the time of day. The metabolic heat production averaged 115 and 155 W m-2 for males and females, respectively, and did not change with increasing air temperature (25-34 ° C), the same was true for emission of methane and respiratory rate, for both sexes. This fact can be explained by the ability of zebu cattle, heat stocked.

[en] HEAT TRANSFER DURING THE FUSION IN A VERTICAL CYLINDRICAL GEOMETRY / [pt] TRANSFERÊNCIA DE CALOR DURANTE A FUSÃO EM GEOMETRIA CILÍNDRICA VERTICAL

ANTONIO CESAR PINHO BRASIL JUNIOR 19 March 2018 (has links)
[pt] Uma análise experimental é desenvolvida para avaliação da transferência de calor durante a fusão ao redor de um cilindro isotérmico vertical imerso em um meio de mudança de fase. A posição e forma da interface sólido-líquido é determinada como função do tempo, para diferentes temperaturas do cilindro. A relação altura/diâmetro é de cinco, para comparação com resultados já existentes. A faixa de Número de Stefan investigado foi de 0,017 a 0,33 o que equivale a uma faixa de Número Rayleigh de 7x10 elevado a quarta potência a 2x10 elevado a sexta potência. Os dados obtidos foram utilizados para a determinação dos números de Nusselt locais na interface e médios para a superfície do cilindro. A dependência da massa fundida com o tempo foi também determinada, parametrizada por Rayleigh. Soluções do problema de fusão sem os efeitos de convecção natural (Problema tipo STEFAN) foram obtidos via método de elementos finitos e estes resultados foram comparados com os dados experimentais obtidos. Isto permitiu a determinação do tempo quando os efeitos de convecção natural tornam-se importantes. Comparações com resultados numéricos publicados, para a mesma condição física, foram desenvolvidas obtendo excelentes concordâncias. / [en] An experimental investigation was performed to determine heat transfer coefficients during the outward melting of a phase-change material (PCM),maintained at its fusion temperature, around an isothermal cylinder positioned vertically. The position and shape of the Solid-liquid interface were determined as a function of time, for diferent temperatures of the cylinder. The ratio height-to-diameter of the cylinder was chosen to be five, in order to allow comparisons with available results. The Stefan number range investigated was 0,017 - 0,33 corresponding to a Rayleigh number variation from 7x10 to the fourth power to 2x10 to the sixth power. The data obtained was used in the determination of local Nusselt numbers for the interface and average Nusselt numbers for cylinder surface. The dependence of the molten mass on time was also determined, for several combinations of the relevant parameters. Solutions of the axisymmetric melting problem without natural convection effects (Stefan-like problem) were obtained via finite-element analysis. These numerical results were compared with the experimental data, which permitted the determination of times when the natural convection effects in the liquid region become of importance. The experimental data were compared with the results of an available numerical analysis of the same physical situation, and excellent agreement was obtained.
