6 FAQs about [Overheating performance of energy storage field]
Is there a local overheating phenomenon within mseh?
The local overheating phenomenon was found within MSEH. The relationship between the number of baffles and overheating was studied. A baffle opening design was introduced to eliminate local overheating phenomenon. A method for suitably adjusting the length of electric heating rods was proposed.
How does cutoff temperature affect energy storage density?
For the certain power, an increase in the cutoff temperature will effectively improve the energy storage density due to the higher average temperature difference between the heat source and PCM.
Does perforation reduce local overheating?
In summary, perforation of the baffle significantly alleviates the local overheating on the back of the baffle, except for the last baffle. Notably, the local overheating issue in the MSEH cannot be entirely resolved solely by perforating the baffle. Additional measures and strategies are necessary to address this issue at the tail end of the MSEH.
Are molten salt electric heaters overheating?
