Performance Assessment of Three Latent Heat Storage Designs for a Solar Hot Water Tank

نویسندگان

چکیده

Solar hot water tanks (SHWT) based on a latent heat storage system are gaining momentum for their integration into solar heater collectors. They can efficiently store daytime thermal energy and shift on-peak period loads to off-peak periods. However, performance is generally limited by the tank configuration, design of system, selection appropriate phase change material (PCM). This work presents numerical investigation three SHWT-PCM designs. A mathematical model was developed predict effectiveness geometric operating conditions in system. Moreover, sensitivity analysis performed PCM type thermo-physical properties. The obtained results demonstrated that efficiency significantly impacted properties (melting temperature, conductivity, enthalpy). In addition, it found using encapsulated tubes with an external jacket SHWT result 70%.

CFD Modelling of an Underground Water Tank Heat Storage System

In this work, CFD is used to simulate the flow in an existing thermal labyrinth located at the basement of a hospital building. This labyrinth is an underground channel equipped with water tanks to increase the thermal mass and reduce the heating and cooling demand of the building. Thermal energy storage in the water tanks is a complex heat transfer phenomena involving turbulent forced convecti...

On the Behavior of Different PCMs in a Hot Water Storage Tank against Thermal Demands

Advantages, such as thermal storage improvement, are found when using PCMs (Phase Change Materials) in storage tanks. The inclusion of three different types of materials in a 60 l test tank is studied. Two test methodologies were developed, and four tests were performed following each methodology. A thermal analysis is performed to check the thermal properties of each PCM. The distributions of ...
