Abstract

In this research, we studied on the development of a phase-change-material(PCM) heat storage tank using solar heat for the eco-friendly removal of black ice. We designed an eco-friendly de-icing system storing solar thermal energy in a PCM heat storage tank through a vacuum tube during high insolation and sending it to a heat exchange pipe inserted inside a road asphalt to keep the asphalt temperature constant at 4℃. In addition, we designed a shell-tube heat exchanger in the form of a double helix coil to maximize the heat transfer efficiency in the PCM tank. Through this, the optimization of some performance parameters such as the heat exchange rate, heat storage and heat dissipation time of coils according to flow rate and temperature were conducted.
