In a further preferred aspect, referring to fig. 2, when the supercooling behavior of the phase change energy storage material system is determined to be unstable, the testing method further comprises:
and S40, performing multiple circulation processes of endothermic melting-exothermic crystallization on the phase change energy storage material system, controlling the phase change energy storage material system to stay for a plurality of different second preset times in a melting state in the multiple circulation processes, testing the supercooling degree of the phase change energy storage material system by using a DSC method, and finally judging the supercooling behavior stability of the phase change energy storage material system according to the testing result of the DSC method.
The final judgment of the supercooling behavior stability of the phase change energy storage material system according to the test result of the DSC method comprises the following steps:
if the test result according to the DSC method shows that the supercooling behavior of the phase change energy storage material system is unstable, finally judging that the supercooling behavior of the phase change energy storage material system is unstable;

Since the sample measured by the DSC method is only a few milligrams, while the sample measured by the T-history method is usually tens or hundreds of grams, the results obtained by the DSC method and the T-history method may be inconsistent, and the results measured by the T-history method are usually based on the results of the T-history method because the sample measured by the T-history method is higher in amount. However, when the results obtained by the DSC method and the T-history method are inconsistent, whether the results interfere with the T-history method due to other factors is also considered, and therefore, when the results of the DSC method and the T-history method are inconsistent, the T-history method testing procedures of the steps S10-S30 need to be performed again.

Fig. 3 is a cooling curve diagram of the phase change energy storage material system, and it can be known from fig. 3 that the first supercooling degree of the phase change energy storage material is 0.2 ℃ and the second supercooling degree is 0.6 ℃.
And step three, based on the obtained first supercooling degree of 0.2 ℃ and the second supercooling degree of 0.6 ℃, therefore, the first supercooling degree and the second supercooling degree are not more than 1.5 ℃. In addition, fig. 4 is a distribution diagram of the supercooling degree of the phase change energy storage material system with the number of cycles in 100 melting-crystallization cycles, and it can be known from fig. 4 that the supercooling degree of the phase change energy storage material system is less than 1.5 ℃ in 100 melting-crystallization cycles; therefore, the supercooling behavior of the phase change energy storage material system is stably inhibited.
Example 2: EPCM + 0.5% SrCl2·6H2Evaluation of supercooling behavior stability of O + 1.0% HEC
Step one, EPCM + 0.5% SrCl to be detected2·6H2And (2) carrying out multiple circulation processes of endothermic melting-exothermic crystallization on an O + 1.0% HEC phase change energy storage material system, wherein EPCM: 43% MgCl2+ 57% Mg (NO)3)2-6H2O, HEC: hydroxyethyl cellulose; and controlling the phase change energy storage material system to stay in a molten state for different first preset times in the multi-cycle process, wherein the first preset times comprise 2h and 8 h.

Fig. 5 is a cooling curve diagram of the phase change energy storage material system, and as can be seen from fig. 5, the first supercooling degree of the phase change energy storage material is 0.9 ℃, and the second supercooling degree is 1.7 ℃.
And step three, based on the obtained first supercooling degree of 0.9 ℃ and the second supercooling degree of 1.7 ℃, the second supercooling degree is more than 1.5 ℃, and the difference value between the first supercooling degree and the second supercooling degree is 0.6 ℃ and is not more than 5 ℃. Therefore, the supercooling behavior of the phase change energy storage material system is determined to be inhibited to a certain degree, and whether the supercooling degree of the phase change energy storage material system needs to be tested by using a DSC method or not can be determined according to actual conditions.
Example 3: EPCM + 0.5% SrCl2·6H2Evaluation of supercooling behavior stability of O + 1.5% HEC

Fig. 6 is a cooling curve diagram of the phase change energy storage material system, and as can be seen from fig. 6, the first supercooling degree of the phase change energy storage material is 3.8 ℃, and the second supercooling degree is 9.5 ℃.
Step three, based on the obtained first supercooling degree of 3.8 ℃ and the second supercooling degree of 9.5 ℃, therefore, the first supercooling degree and the second supercooling degree are both more than 1.5 ℃; and the difference value between the first supercooling degree and the second supercooling degree is 5.7 ℃ and is more than 5 ℃. It is determined that the supercooling behavior of the phase change energy storage material system is unstable.
And step four, performing multiple circulation processes of endothermic melting-exothermic crystallization on the phase change energy storage material system, controlling the phase change energy storage material system to stay at a melting state of 80 ℃ for a plurality of different second preset times (0.1min, 1min, 5min, 10min and 30min) in the multiple circulation processes, and testing the supercooling degree of the phase change energy storage material system by using a DSC method.
Because the quality magnitudes of samples tested by the T-history method and the DSC method are different, the scales of the retention time are different, the fluctuation can be reflected only by more than a plurality of hours when the T-history method is used for testing, and the difference can be reflected when the DSC method is used for testing.
FIG. 7 is a DSC curve of the phase change energy storage material system, and the crystallization temperature is 60 ℃. When the mixture stays for 0.1min in a molten state, the initial crystallization temperature is 49.09 ℃, the corresponding supercooling degree is 10.91 ℃, and the span of a crystallization exothermic peak is 14.03 ℃; when the mixture stays for 1min in a molten state, the initial crystallization temperature is 46.81 ℃, the corresponding supercooling degree is 13.19 ℃, and the span of a crystallization exothermic peak is 15.87 ℃; when the mixture stays for 5min in a molten state, the initial crystallization temperature is 48.01 ℃, the corresponding supercooling degree is 11.99 ℃, and the span of a crystallization exothermic peak is 15.73 ℃; when the mixture stays for 10min in a molten state, the initial crystallization temperature is 34.81 ℃, the corresponding supercooling degree is 25.19 ℃, and the span of a crystallization exothermic peak is 12.00 ℃; when the mixture stays for 30min in a molten state, the initial crystallization temperature is 35.69 ℃, the corresponding supercooling degree is 24.31 ℃, and the span of the exothermic peak of crystallization is 11.93 ℃.
As can be seen from fig. 7, in this embodiment, the supercooling degree of the phase change energy storage material system is tested based on the DSC method, and as the delay (increase) of the retention time, the supercooling degree changes by more than 5 ℃, and the supercooling degree has a continuous increasing trend, and meanwhile, the temperature span change of the crystallization exothermic peak is more than 1.5 ℃, and there is an obvious rule that the temperature span change increases first and then decreases to the equilibrium value, so that it is determined that the supercooling behavior of the phase change energy storage material system is unstable.
In summary, the test results of the T-history method and the DSC method both show that the supercooling behavior of the phase change energy storage material system is unstable, and finally it can be determined that the supercooling behavior of the phase change energy storage material system is unstable, and the supercooling behavior is greatly affected by the different residence times in the molten state, and further optimization of the supercooling behavior is required to achieve the purpose of "stably realizing suppression of supercooling degree".
If the supercooling degree difference obtained by the T-history method is large, but the exothermic peak broadening of the crystallization peak in the test result obtained by the DSC method is not obvious, it can be shown that the supercooling degree difference obtained by the T-history method is not caused by the heterogeneity of the local supercooling degree, but is caused by other reasons such as external interference, and at this time, it cannot be determined that the supercooling behavior of the phase change energy storage material system is unstable, and the T-history method test experiment needs to be performed again to determine the result.
According to the method for testing the supercooling behavior stability of the phase change energy storage material system, the supercooling degree of the material system is tested by combining the T-history method and the DSC method through regulating and controlling different residence times of the phase change energy storage material system in the molten state, so that the influence of the different residence times in the molten state on the supercooling degree of the material system is obtained, and the supercooling behavior stability of the material system is further judged. The testing method considers the influence of the retention time of the phase change energy storage material in the liquid phase on the supercooling behavior of the phase change energy storage material, improves the accuracy of evaluating the supercooling behavior stability of the phase change energy storage material, and has important engineering significance and application prospect.
The foregoing is directed to embodiments of the present application and it is noted that numerous modifications and adaptations may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the principles of the present application and are intended to be within the scope of the present application.
