The use of heat battery for pre-starting preparation of automobile engines.

Abstract

The article considers the main types and principles of design of heat accumulators. Are the basic requirements to the transitions of materials and articles in sum. Defines the main directions of the development of mobile heat battery for use in surface transport. It is shown that the most promising, but the most technically sophisticated way of accumulation thermal energy is thermochemical reaction. By the results of modelling processes of accumulation, storage, discharge of the storage tank is defined approximate thermal capacity required to effectively use in road transport, the list of materials applicable for this product. On the basis of calculations will be developed design of the heat exchanger and selected thermal energy storage material, which will create a heat accumulator to pre-heat the preparation of internal combustion engines.
