A cold storage system and method are provided. The cold storage system includes a chiller, a hydrate-based cold storage tank, a gas disturbance generator, a concentration detector, a heat exchanger, a direct-current power supply and circuit controller, and a system monitor. Chiller provides a secondary refrigerant at a low temperature. The secondary refrigerant flows through a coil in the hydrate-based cold storage tank for a heat exchange. The gas disturbance generator induces hydrate nucleation. The concentration detector monitors a concentration of a hydrate solution in real time. The heat exchanger is equipped with a finned tube heat exchanger with a fan, to improve the cold supply efficiency of the cold storage system. The system monitor monitors a state change of the system in real time through a set of temperature-pressure sensor modules. Several cold energy supply modes can be realized in the present disclosure by adjusting opening/dosing of valves.

Internal circulation type clathrate hydrate-based cold storage system and method

The present disclosure provides an apparatus and a method for hydrate-based wastewater treatment and cold storage. The apparatus for hydrate-based wastewater treatment and cold storage includes a water chilling unit, a hydrate-based cold storage tank, an airflow disturbance device, a water layer positioning system, a spraying system, a suction filtration system, a heat exchange system, and a system monitoring device. The water chilling unit provides a secondary refrigerant at a low temperature. The secondary refrigerant flows through an evaporator coil in the hydrate-based cold storage tank for heat exchange. The airflow disturbance device induces hydrate nucleation. The water layer positioning system positions a contact surface between a water layer and a hydrate former after hydrate decomposition to facilitate drawing and separation of the treated upper water layer. The spraying system and the suction filtration system enhance the solid-liquid separation efficiency to improve the removal rate of pollutants.
