A Comprehensive Study on a Latent Heat Thermal Energy Storage System and its Feasible Applications in Greenhouses
Abstract Energy crisis is a major challenge in the current world. Latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) systems are known as equipment with promising performance by which thermal energy can be recovered. In the present study a comprehensive theoretical and experimental investigation is performed on a LHTES system containing PEG1000 as phase change material (PCM). Discussed topics can be ca...
متن کاملThermal energy storage – overview and specific insight into nitrate salts for sensible and latent heat storage
Thermal energy storage (TES) is capable to reduce the demand of conventional energy sources for two reasons: First, they prevent the mismatch between the energy supply and the power demand when generating electricity from renewable energy sources. Second, utilization of waste heat in industrial processes by thermal energy storage reduces the final energy consumption. This review focuses mainly ...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of a Porous Latent Heat Thermal Energy Storage for Thermoelectric Cooling
Porous latent heat thermal energy storage for thermoelectric cooling is simulated via a matrix-based enthalpy formulation, having the temperature as unknown, in a three-dimensional domain. The system is made up of two aluminum containers; the inner one contains the cooling objective in water suspension and the outer one the phase change material (PCM) in a porous aluminum matrix. The system’s c...
متن کاملExperimental Analysis of Latent Heat Thermal Energy Storage using Paraffin Wax as Phase Change Material
A significant amount of heat is wasted in manufacturing process, electricity generation, chemical and industrial process. Recovery and reuse of this energy through storage can be useful in conservation of energy. In the present study, a double pipe type heat exchanger has been designed and fabricated for low temperature industrial waste heat recovery using phase change material (PCM) paraffin w...
متن کاملMethodology for Designing a Hybrid Thermal Energy Storage Heat Sink
A thermal response model for designing a hybrid thermal energy storage (TES) heat sink is developed. The stabilization time and maximum operating (hot side) temperature-to-transition temperature difference are used to characterize the performance of the heat sink. The thermal properties of the PCM employed in the design are investigated. Integration of a design optimization algorithm into a the...
