许多工业过程要使用热量和发生蒸汽,均需将热量进行长距离地传输。通常,通过管道传输加热介质而得到热量。其缺点是必须设置一整套系统,同时有热损失,虽然不大,但效率降低。 美国新墨西哥州阿尔伯克茎(Albuquerque)的萨蒂亚(Sandia)国家实验室正在研究一种替代途径,使在室温条件下的气体混合物作为化学能量用于能量传输,无需使管道保温,同时可提高效率。 Many industrial processes that use heat and generate steam require heat to be transported over long distances. In general, heat is transferred by pipelining the heating medium. The disadvantage is that a complete system must be installed with heat loss at the same time, though less, but less efficient. Sandia National Laboratory in Albuquerque, NM, USA, is working on an alternative approach that allows gas mixtures at room temperature for chemical energy to be used for energy transfer without the need for pipe insulation, Improve efficiency.
