ABSTRACT
Along with the rapid economic development and social progress, the problem of energy and environment is becoming more and more outstanding. Therefore, it is very important to use new energy saving techniques to increase energy consumption and reduce energy consumption. In this paper, we have developed a hot water system, which is based on solar energy technology, gas-source heat pump, and phase change energy storage technology. The system was designed and constructed, and its performance was tested in various control conditions, with an emphasis on the analysis of the influence of phase change heat supply on heat storage properties. In this paper, the effect of the heat storage property is analyzed. Studies have shown that compared to a conventional tank that does not have a phase change heat storage device, the heat storage tanks equipped with phase change energy storage devices have longer discharge time, higher discharge temperature, better temperature, and better operation efficiency. In addition, the data show that flow rate control is also an important factor in optimizing the thermal storage characteristics of the system.
