EMPLOYMENT OF CARBOXYLIC ACIDS FOR ACCUMULATION OF HEAT

摘要

FIELD: heating engineering.;SUBSTANCE: invention proposes employment of anhydrous C₁-C₁₈-carboxylic acid alkali or alkali-earth metal salt(s) as medium for accumulation of heat and using heat energy. Method of improving heat-exchange properties and heat capacity of liquid comprises dispersing above-indicated salts therein. Invention allows selection of combinations of heat-accumulating salts, which are less toxic, less environmentally harmful, and less corrosive for metals and materials used in heat-accumulation and heat-transmission equipment.;EFFECT: improved heat-exchange characteristics of heat-accumulation materials.;7 cl, 17 dwg, 13 ex
