On the design of a solar heat storage tank at 120°C

This work presents the materials selection process, design and dimensioning process of a latent heat storage tank that works between high temperature pump an Organic Rankine Cycle unit. The selected material is S117 Phase Change Material has melting point at 117°C matches operational system approximately 120°C. configuration for optimised transfer resulted from practical experience project partners it described in details document. simulation results Computational Fluid Dynamic study are also presented here. should be useful engineers designing compact tanks medium applications.
