초록

본 논문에서는 난방용 축열보드에 응용하기 위해서 미세캡슐을 함유한 축열블럭의 열성능 특성을 조사하였다. 상변화 물질인 $CH_3COONa{\cdot}3H_2O$를 미세캡슐 형태로 제조하였고 미세캡슐 함유량이 각각 10%, 20%가 되도록 시멘트 몰타르와 혼합하여 축열블럭을 제작하였다. 축열블럭의 축열 및 방열 특성을 분석하기 위하여 유량과 유입 냉각 온도를 변화시켰다. 실험결과를 보면 미세캡슐 함유량이 증가할 수록 블럭에 축열되는 축열량은 증가를 하였고 방열시간도 증가를 하였다. 그리고 방열과정시 유량이 증가하고 유입 냉각온도가 감소함에 따라 방열시간은 감소하였다. 순수블럭(0% 미세캡슐 함유량)은 방열과정시 총괄 열전달 계수는 시간에 따라서 일정하게 유지를 하지만 축열블럭에서는 시간이 지남에 따라 증가를 하였다.

The thermal performance of storage brick, containing microencapsulated PCM(phase change material), was investigated for utilization as a floor heating system. Sodium acetate trihydrate($CH_3COONa{\cdot}3H_2O$) was selected for the PCM and was encapsulated. The thermal storage brick was manufactured with mixing cement mortar having 10%, 20% PCM contents, respectively. Four different flow rates and three different cooling temperatures was used in this work for analyzing the heat charging and discharging characteristics of the thermal storage brick. The result showed that cycle time was shortened as the PCM content was increased and as the mass flow rate was increased. The same effect was obtained when the cooling temperature was decreased. For each thermal storage brick the overall heat transfer coefficient(U-value) was constant for a 0% brick, but was increased with time for the bricks containing microencapsulated PCM.
