نویسنده
چکیده
In the present paper an attempt has been made to report simulated performance of a packed bed solar energy storage system. Performance of the system having large size storgae material elements has been evaluated as a function of system and operating parameters. In the present part of this paper, system performance w.r.t. temperature distribution in the bed, thermal energy stored and available energy stored in the bed have been reported and discussed. It is observed that the system parameters play a predominant role to influence heat transfer characteristics of packed bed solar energy storage system.

Simulated Performance of Packed Bed Solar Energy Storage System having Storage Material Elements of Large Size - Part I
Packed bed or rock bed is very commonly known thermal energy storage component for solar air heaters. The major concern for design of packed bed energy storage system is to maximize the heat transfer with minimum pressure drop or pumping power. Under the given operating conditions, system parameters could affect heat transfer and pressure drop in the bed considerably. An attempt has been made t...
متن کاملSizing of a Packed Bed Storage for Solar Air Heating Systems (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Packed bed units generally, represent the most suitable storage units for air heating solar systems. In these systems the storage unit receives the heat from the collector during the collection period and discharges the heat to the building at the retrieval process. A method for sizing of packedbed storage in an air heating system is represented. The design is based on the K-S curves, which hav...

This article presents a transient model of a solar adsorption cooling system. A computer program has been developed to simulate the operation of a two bed silica gel- water adsorption cooling system as well as flat plate collectors and the hot water storage tank. This program is then utilized to simulate the performance of a sample solar adsorption cooling system used for cooling a set of r...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Pilot Plant Solar Liquid Desiccant Air Conditioner for the Northern Region of Iran
In a 10-ton capacity pilot plant solar liquid desiccant air conditioner (LDAC) developed, dehumidification of the outside air is achieved through a honeycomb packed-bed heat and mass exchanger, using lithium chloride solution as the desiccant. The dry air obtained from the dehumidification process is evaporative cooled inside a cooling pad and directed into the conditioned space. The dilute sol...
