摘要: Graphite foam with extremely high thermal conductivity has been investigated to enhance heat transfer of latent energy storage (LHTES) systems. However, the use graphite for elevated temperature applications (>600 °C) is limited due poor oxidation resistance graphite. In present study, coated silicon carbide (SiC) was investigated. A pre-ceramic polymer derived coating (PDC) method used form a SiC on foams. Post deposition, samples were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and dispersive spectroscopy. The PDC-SiC quantified measuring weight at several points. experiments conducted under static argon atmosphere in furnace. After experiments, rates (%/hour) calculated predict lifetime experimental results showed that could prevent up 900 °C.
