Corundum thermal storage balls are a significant innovation in the field of thermal storage materials in recent years. Their outstanding performance has made them an indispensable component in high-temperature industrial applications.
Working Principle
The working principle of corundum thermal storage balls is based on the absorption and release of thermal energy. Typically used in thermal storage devices within heat systems, these balls absorb heat when the system is in a high-temperature state and store it. When the temperature drops, the stored heat is released to maintain the system's thermal balance. This cycle of heat absorption and release not only enhances energy efficiency but also reduces thermal energy losses.
Characteristics of Corundum Thermal Storage Balls
High Heat Storage Capacity
Corundum thermal storage balls possess a high specific heat capacity, meaning they can store more heat per unit volume. In high-temperature applications, their heat storage capacity greatly improves the efficiency of the system, making them especially useful in environments with frequent temperature fluctuations.
Exceptional High-Temperature Resistance
Corundum material can withstand temperatures of up to 1800°C and beyond, allowing corundum thermal storage balls to operate in extreme conditions without deforming or breaking down. This high-temperature tolerance has led to their widespread use in high-temperature heat exchange equipment, such as blast furnace hot stoves in steelmaking.
Low Thermal Expansion Coefficient
Corundum thermal storage balls have a low thermal expansion coefficient, meaning their size and volume remain stable even with significant temperature changes. This property helps maintain the structural stability of the heat storage system, reducing the risk of equipment damage.
Applications in High-Temperature Heat Storage
Thermal Energy Storage in Industrial Furnaces
Corundum thermal storage balls are widely used in various types of industrial furnaces, especially those operating in high-temperature environments, such as metallurgical furnaces and glass melting furnaces. They store heat within the furnace and stably release it, enhancing overall energy efficiency and reducing energy waste.
High-Temperature Waste Heat Recovery Systems
In certain high-temperature production processes, such as chemical and petrochemical industries, corundum thermal storage balls effectively recover waste heat generated during production. By storing and reusing this heat, businesses can significantly reduce energy consumption, contributing to energy savings and emission reductions.
Solar Thermal Power Generation
The use of corundum thermal storage balls in solar thermal power generation has been gaining attention. Due to their ability to withstand extremely high temperatures, they are an important material for storing solar thermal energy, especially in environments with large day-night temperature variations. Corundum thermal storage balls can effectively balance the heat supply needs in these conditions.
