摘要
电热水器中的能量传递过程主要包括电加热丝对内胆中水的加热过程,内胆中水的自然对流过程以及通过保温层的散热过程.本文采用多尺度数值模拟方法:用LBM确定保温材料导热系数作为基于连续介质的Fluent的输入数据,对发生在电热水器中的流动和耦合传热过程进行了数值模拟,并采用UDF来控制电加热丝的动态间歇加热工作过程,建立了模拟电热水器24 h固有能耗系数测试过程的数值模拟方法.采用该方法模拟得到的能耗系数与实验值符合良好,证明了该模型的准确性。同时模拟获得了电热水器中水在加热和散热阶段的流动特性、温度分布,以及各个区域的散热占比和热流密度。提出了优化电热水器保温隔热性能的判据,为电热水器保温结构的优化提供了依据.
In the electrically-heated water heater, several major energy transfer processes are involved: the heating process of the water, natural convection of the water and heat dissipation of the water through the insulation layer. In the present paper, multiscale numerical simulation was conducted to simulate the heat transfer and fluid flow in the water heater: LBM was adopted to predict the thermal conductivity of the porous media insulation layer which served as input data for Fluent in ANSYS Fluent. In addition, User Defined Function was developed to control the intermittent heating to the water. The energy consumption coefficients obtained by the simulations fit well with the experimental results. Fluid flow characteristics, temperature profile and heat dissipation distribution were also obtained to guide the optimization of the thermal insulation layer.
