Can stress calculations be used in a heat storage tank?
The article presented normative methods of stress calculations for a heat storage tank. Results were verified by finite element analysis. These stress calculations enabled us to determine wall and weld thickness. The calculations were made on the example of a tank with a nominal pressure of 10 bar.
How does thermal stress affect a heat storage tank?
Zhang et al. calculated the thermal stress of the tank and found that the maximum stress of the tank increased by 17%, compared with the working condition, without considering the thermal stress. Tang et al. studied the mechanical characteristics of the cold and hot tanks in the dual-tank heat storage system.
How to reduce the stress of a storage tank?
Reducing the number of heaters and increasing the distance between them and the bottom can lower the tank’s maximum stress. The optimal design parameters include four electric heater tubes at a distance of 800 mm from the ground, resulting in the best structure for the new storage tank.
What materials are used in a pressure tank stress analysis?
The work undertook an extensive analysis of the stresses occurring in a pressure tank, described the finite element method and showed examples of ways in which it could be used. During stress analysis, three types of materials were compared: carbon steel St0 (S185), stainless steel (304) and boiler steel (P 265 GH).
What materials were compared during stress analysis?
During stress analysis, three types of materials were compared: carbon steel St0 (S185), stainless steel (304) and boiler steel (P 265 GH). A brief overview of types of thermal energy storages was also provided. Content may be subject to copyright.
How much stress does molten salt storage tank have?
The maximum stress of the molten salt storage tank is reduced from 10.802 MPa to 9.941 MPa, which is reduced by 8% when the position of the electric heater sleeve is increased from 400 mm to 800 mm.
