Description

Heat exchanger component, water heater, air conditioner and thermoelectric generation device
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor thermoelectricity, in particular to a heat exchanger assembly, a water heater, an air conditioner and a thermoelectric power generation device.
Background
With the development of economy, the energy consumption of fossil minerals is increased sharply, so that not only can energy resources be endangered, but also global greenhouse effect can be caused by excessive dependence on fossil energy resources, and the sea level of glaciers is increased, so that energy conservation and emission reduction are particularly important, the energy consumption is reduced, sustainable development is realized, and the research and development of novel environment-friendly technologies are indispensable requirements. Semiconductor refrigeration has appeared as early as 50 years in the 20 th century, and is favored by household electrical appliance manufacturers due to simple structure and rapid power-on refrigeration.
However, it was not commonly used due to the lack of performance of the material elements limited at the time. In recent years, scientific technology is rapidly developed, various technical problems of semiconductor refrigeration devices are gradually overcome, semiconductor refrigeration and heating and thermoelectric power generation materials are broken through, the figure of merit of the semiconductor refrigeration and heating materials is greatly improved, the advantage of semiconductor refrigeration is reappeared, and the semiconductor refrigeration and thermoelectric power generation materials are widely applied to various fields such as military, aerospace, agriculture and industry.
According to relevant literature data, theoretical research of semiconductor refrigeration technology is basically mature. With the development of semiconductor physics, the flying academy of semiconductor research of the former Soviet institute of science and technology finds that the doped semiconductor material has good power generation and refrigeration properties. The high attention of the scholars to the thermoelectric phenomenon is brought forward, thereby opening a new chapter of semiconductor materials, and related technologists in many countries have a lot of enthusiasm for the purpose of the high attention, and are dedicated to searching for new semiconductor material alternatives, including related technologies of preparation processes. In 2001, Venkatasubramanian et al produced the highest level of semiconductor material coefficient of 2.4 in the world today. The factors influencing the figure of merit of the semiconductor material are analyzed in great detail by spring, Wangweiyan and the like. The analytical research shows that the figure of merit of the semiconductor material is not only related to the electrode material, but also related to the cross section and the length of the electrode, the electrodes with different resistivity and thermal conductivity should have different geometric dimensions corresponding to the electrode material, and the semiconductor refrigeration device with the maximum figure of merit can be obtained only if the electrodes meet the optimal dimensions. The semiconductor refrigeration core component is a thermocouple stack, the thermoelectric conversion efficiency of the semiconductor refrigeration material of the thermocouple stack is not high at present, and is the most main reason of low efficiency of the current semiconductor refrigeration air conditioner, namely the peltier coefficient is low, the thermoelectric generation efficiency reflected by the reverse peltier seebeck effect is not high, the power generation efficiency of the currently applied related semiconductor material is generally 3% -8% under the temperature difference condition of 50 ℃, the use value of the semiconductor material is not very high, and the semiconductor refrigeration material is only suitable for being applied in a certain specific field. Therefore, the figure of merit Z for determining the quality of the thermoelectric material is particularly important. There is a distance for the semiconductor refrigeration efficiency to reach the level of mechanical refrigeration efficiency.
The discovery of the Seebeck effect and the Peltier effect of the thermoelectric material has been over 100 years old, and numerous scientists have conducted intensive and fruitful research and exploration on the Seebeck effect and the Peltier effect, and have achieved brilliant results. With the continuous and deep research, the performance of the thermoelectric material is believed to be further improved, and the thermoelectric material is certainly a new hot spot in the field of new material research in China. In the future research work of thermoelectric materials, the research focus should be on the following aspects:
(1) the method is characterized in that the Seebeck coefficient, the electric conductivity and the thermal conductivity of materials with different crystal structures are calculated by utilizing the traditional semiconductor energy band theory and the modern quantum theory, so that a novel thermoelectric material with a higher thermoelectric figure of merit ZT is searched in a wider range.
(2) The influence of the microstructure, the preparation process and the like of the material on the thermoelectric performance of the material is researched theoretically and experimentally, and particularly the research on a superlattice thermoelectric material, a nanometer thermoelectric material and a thermoelectric material film is carried out to further improve the thermoelectric performance of the material.
(3) The discovered high-performance material is researched theoretically and experimentally, so that the high-performance material achieves stable high thermoelectric performance.
(4) The preparation process research of the device is enhanced to realize the industrialization of the thermoelectric material.
From the comparison result of the refrigeration coefficients of the semiconductor refrigeration and the mechanical refrigeration, the refrigeration energy efficiency ratio of the compressor type can reach 3.8, and the refrigeration energy efficiency ratio of the semiconductor type is generally about 0.6. Analytical studies have shown that: the heat dissipation effect of the hot end of the thermopile is an important factor influencing the performance of the thermopile, and conversely, the speed of taking away the cold energy is also an important factor influencing the heating of the thermopile. In fact, it is said that pursuing an excessive temperature difference will also consume more energy, whereas its efficiency will increase. The semiconductor refrigerating device is always kept working by continuous heat exchange between the heat exchanger and the cold and heat sources.
Compare traditional compressor refrigeration efficiency semiconductor refrigeration efficiency far away from each other, if when semiconductor refrigeration material was good enough, its efficiency can be infinitely close card if the circulation efficiency. Therefore, the search for new semiconductor materials and the improvement of the thermoelectric property of the existing materials are the hot spots of the current research. If the semiconductor refrigeration performance is to reach the level of mechanical refrigeration. The dimensionless parameter ZT must reach more than 3.0, and the basic principle of optimization is to improve the electric conductivity and the Seebeck coefficient and reduce the thermal conductivity. There are three types of thermoelectric materials with excellent performance that have been found so far: the semiconductor material with the highest Z value at normal temperature is a P-type quaternary alloy, and ZT at 300K at normal temperature is 1.71. But its preparation is very difficult. In the temperature range of 200-300K, ternary solid solution alloy is applied mostly. The ZT is 2.4 at 300K, which is the first material of semiconductor refrigerator manufacturers in various countries at present. However, when the temperature is reduced to 20-200K, the thermoelectric performance of the semiconductor material is rapidly reduced, the best material in the temperature range is an N-type alloy, but the performance of the semiconductor material is fundamentally influenced by the characteristic parameters of the semiconductor material. The reduction of material dimensions and the research of organic thermoelectric materials and superlattice materials become mainstream directions for future development.
Although the semiconductor refrigeration technology develops rapidly in recent years, the defects of low refrigeration and thermoelectric generation efficiency, high operation cost, complex material manufacturing process and the like still exist, the application of the related field of the technology is greatly limited, and at present, the research on the semiconductor refrigeration and thermoelectric generation at home and abroad is mainly focused on three aspects: the research of semiconductor materials, structural design, a galvanic couple stack combination mode and a cold and hot end heat dissipation mode.
Besides the influence of the figure of merit Z of the semiconductor material, the structure of the semiconductor refrigerator greatly influences the refrigeration performance, the development of the semiconductor refrigeration is greatly limited due to the complex processing technology of the structure, and the influence factors of the structure on the semiconductor refrigeration include: the area and thickness of the refrigerating device, the thermal resistance of the welding surface, the geometric dimension of the thermoelectric arm, the flow guide resistance and the like. More and more researches are carried out to consider the contact resistance and the thermal resistance into a thermocouple model, under the condition of determining the working condition and the material, the optimal refrigerating capacity is greatly influenced by a size factor G (the ratio of the cross section area to the length of a single thermoelectric arm) of a refrigerating element, and the refrigerating effect is obvious when the G value is 0.06-0.15 cm. When the current is small (0-2A), the refrigerating capacity is reduced along with the increase of the G value, the COP under the same refrigerating capacity is reduced along with the increase of the G value, in the design of the thermoelectric module, the larger refrigerating capacity of a semiconductor can be obtained by increasing the G value, but if the G value is increased, the current value corresponding to the maximum refrigerating capacity is larger, and the efficiency of the refrigerator is poor. Structural factors such as contact thermoelectric resistance of the thermoelectric element, size of a thermoelectric arm and the like are improved, and the method is a very potential way for the performance of the existing refrigerator.
The effective ways of improving the semiconductor heating and refrigerating and the thermoelectric power generation mainly have two major factors, and the current low refrigerating efficiency becomes the greatest defect of the semiconductor refrigerating, so that the popularization and the application of the semiconductor refrigerating are limited. In order to improve the efficiency of semiconductor refrigeration, effective solutions are to be found out based on the following two influencing factors.
(1) Searching for a semiconductor material with a high figure of merit Z: research on functional heterogeneous materials, research on skutterudite and research on superlattice with quantum holes.
(2) The semiconductor refrigeration hot end heat dissipation system is optimally designed to ensure that the heat dissipation of the hot end and the cold end is in a good state.
From the history of development of semiconductor refrigeration, three stages are roughly passed: 1. in the beginning of the last century, a thermoelectric current phenomenon and a temperature abnormal phenomenon are discovered in sequence by Seker and Peltier, and researches on thermoelectric power generation and thermoelectric refrigeration are carried out, but at the moment, because the thermoelectric performance of a used metal material is poor, the efficiency of energy conversion is very low, and the thermoelectric effect is not substantially applied; 2. in the early 60 s of the last century, the semiconductor material is widely applied, so that the semiconductor material has good thermoelectric performance, and the efficiency of thermoelectric effect is greatly improved, so that thermoelectric power generation and thermoelectric refrigeration enter engineering practice; 3. after the 80 s of the last century, efforts have been made to improve the thermoelectric cooling performance of semiconductors and further develop the application field of thermoelectric cooling.
The working principle of semiconductor refrigeration is based on the peltier effect. The semiconductor thermocouple is composed of an N-type semiconductor and a P-type semiconductor. The N-type semiconductor has excess electrons and a negative temperature difference potential. The P-type semiconductor has insufficient electrons and has positive temperature difference potential; when electrons travel from the P-type to the N-type through the junction, the temperature of the junction decreases, the energy thereof necessarily increases, and the increased energy corresponds to the energy consumed by the junction. Conversely, as electrons flow from the N-type to the P-type material, the temperature of the junction increases.
Semiconductor refrigeration and heating and thermoelectric generation prospect: with the rapid development of low-temperature electronics, semiconductor refrigeration has a unique role in cooling various components and devices. The semiconductor refrigeration technology is adopted to cool the electronic element, so that the stability of the parameters of the electronic element can be effectively improved, or the signal to noise ratio is improved, and the sensitivity and the accuracy of the amplification and measurement device are improved. Semiconductor refrigerators can cool electronic devices and equipment in both direct and indirect refrigeration modes.
In order to solve the problem of lack of petroleum resources, part of vehicles use natural gas and ethanol as fuels, but compared with gasoline, the operation of an automobile air conditioner is difficult. The semiconductor refrigeration air conditioner integrates cold and heat, operates independently, can directly utilize a vehicle direct current power supply, has simple system and good compatibility with vehicles, and has better development prospect in the field of automobiles.
At present, the cost of the semiconductor refrigeration air conditioner above kilowatt level is much higher than that of the compression refrigeration air conditioner in view of the performance of the used semiconductor refrigeration material. But the cost of the hectowatt-level small air conditioner is not much different from that of a compression refrigeration air conditioner, and the small air conditioner has the characteristics of no refrigerant, convenient regulation and control, no noise and the like, and is very convenient for being used in some special small spaces; the ten-watt-level micro air conditioner has the advantages that the cost is far lower than that of a compression refrigerating device, the compression refrigerating device cannot replace the compression refrigerating device in the aspects of electronic equipment cooling and local microenvironment temperature control, the medium and small semiconductor refrigeration air conditioner can enter the civil field, and the thermoelectric power generation becomes distributed electric power production.
In the application of the semiconductor refrigeration technology, the performance of unique functions is designed according to different use requirements according to local conditions so as to expand the application field of the technology, and the field portable thermoelectric generation can bring much convenience to people, including mobile phone charging, and the thermoelectric generation can be utilized to realize the mobile phone charging. It is believed that semiconductor refrigeration technology will develop better and wider in the future.
The semiconductor refrigeration technology is widely concerned due to the characteristics of a refrigeration mode with simple structure, small volume, rapid refrigeration, long service life, zero emission, no pollution, simple maintenance, no vibration and the like, and has great development potential in the aspects of military, medical treatment, biopharmaceutical and the like.
