Abstract:
High temperature molten salt, as an efficient material of heat transfer and heat storage, the melting point and fusion latent heat determine its working temperature and phase change heat storage capacity, respectively. The quadbromide salt mixture is prepared by four kinds of chemically pure salts which are NaBr, KBr, CaBr2 and LiBr with a determined proportion. In order to improve the thermal performance of the quad-bromide salts, nano-SiO2 is added to the quad-bromide salts and so new kinds of nano-SiO2 bromide salts are prepared with different mass fractions of nano-SiO2. Then the method of Simultaneous Thermal Analysis(STA)is used to investigate variations of melting point and fusion latent heat of the nano-bromide salts with different ratios of nano-SiO2. The experimental results show that melting point of nano-bromide salts decreases slow with the increase of the mass fraction of nano-SiO2, the fall range is within 2.5. The fusion latent heat of the nano-bromide salts increases linearly with the increase of mass fraction of SiO2, when the mass fraction of nano-SiO2 reaches 1.5%, the fusion latent heat of nano-SiO2 bromide salts mixture reaches maximum, increased 89.6 % compared with the quad-bromide salts mixture. The decomposition temperature and thermal stability of the quad-bromide salts mixture are improved by the addition of nano-SiO2. © 2017, Editorial Board of Acta Energiae Solaris Sinica.
