Abstract

The ice storage system uses water for low temperature latent heat storage. However, a refrigerator capacity are increased and COP are decreased due to supercooling of water in the course of phase change from liquid to solid. This study investigates the cooling characteristics of the TMA-water clathrate compound including TMA (Tri-methyl-amine, $(CH_3)_3N$) of 20~25 wt% as a low temperature latent heat storage material. The results showed that the phase change temperature are increased and the supercooling degree and the specific heat are decreased according to the weight concentration of TMA increased. Especially, the clathrate compound containing TMA 25wt% has the average phase change temperature of $5.8^{\circ}C$ and the supercooling degree of $8.0^{\circ}C$, retention time of liquid phase for 651sec and specific heat of 3.499 kJ/kgK in the cooling process. This expressed good than different concentration of TMA cooling characteristic. Like this, to apply TMA 25wt%-water clathrate compound is determined by advantageous as the low temperature latent heat storage material.

빙축열시스템은 저온잠열저장을 위해 물을 사용한다. 그러나 물은 액체에서 고체로 상변화를 하는 과정에서 물의 과냉각 현상에 의하여 냉동기의 냉동용량 증가와 COP감소의 원인이 되고 있다. 본 연구는 저온잠열축열물질로 적용 가능한 TMA(Tri-methyl-amine, $(CH_3)_3N$) 20~25 wt%를 포함하고 있는 TMA-물계 포접화합물(TMA-water clathrate compound)의 냉각특성에 대한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 실험적 연구 결과, TMA 질량농도가 높을수록 상변화온도는 증가하였고, 과냉각도와 비열은 감소하였다. 특히, TMA 25wt%를 포함하고 있는 포접화합물은 냉각과정동안 평균 상변화온도 $5.8^{\circ}C$와 과냉각도 $8.0^{\circ}C$, 액상유지시간 651sec 및 비열 3.499 kJ/kgK로서 다른 TMA 농도보다 양호한 냉각특성을 나타내었다. 이와 같이 저온잠열축열물질로서 TMA 25wt%-물계 포접화합물을 적용하는 것이 유리할 것으로 판단된다.
