  • Patent number: 12264881
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a mobile energy storage internet system. The mobile energy storage internet system comprises distributed energy harvesting devices, mobile cold storage/heat storage devices, an energy system dispatching and monitoring center, and cold supply/heat supply terminals. The distributed energy harvesting devices are used for harvesting industrial waste cold energy/heat energy. The energy system dispatching and monitoring center is used for monitoring the residual energy of the distributed energy harvesting devices and the energy demand of the cold supply/heat supply terminals respectively, and mobilizing the mobile cold storage/heat storage devices to the distributed energy harvesting devices to store residual energy or to the cold supply/heat supply terminals to release the stored residual energy.

  • Patent number: 12259192
    Abstract: A mobile phase-change heat and cold storage device include heat transfer plates, a bracket, a casing, a main tube, a storage tank, and a phase-change working medium. Heat is stored and released by the phase-change working medium, and the main tube and casing provide an interface between the heat and cold storage device and the outside world. In the process of heat storage, vapor flows through the heat transfer plates via the main tube; heat is transferred to the phase-change working medium via the heat transfer plates, and is transported in a box body to a designated position; cold water flows through the heat transfer plates via the casing; heat is transferred from the phase-change working medium to the cold water via the heat transfer plates to obtain hot water; the phase-change working medium can release heat by exothermic solidification. The process of cold storage is similar thereto.

  • Publication number: 20240110729
    Abstract: Disclosed in the present invention are a novel flat heat absorber for solar tower power generation and a system using same. The system comprises a windshield, a flat heat absorber, and a circulation pipeline, wherein the flat heat absorber is a main element for photothermal conversion and heat energy transfer, the windshield prevents heat loss of the heat absorber, and the circulation pipeline ensures the circulation of a working fluid. In a working process, a heat transfer fluid in the flat heat absorber absorbs heat and evaporates from an evaporation surface, releases heat and condenses on a condensation surface, the condensed heat transfer fluid flows back to the evaporation surface to enter circulation work of a next round, and heat is transferred to the working fluid by means of a gas-liquid phase change process.
