Application of Phase Change Materials and Pcm-slurries for Thermal Energy Storage
نویسندگان
چکیده
The idea to use phase change materials (PCM) for the purpose of storing thermal energy is to make use of the latent heat of a phase change, usually between the solid and the liquid state. Since a phase change involves a large amount of latent energy at small temperature changes, PCMs are used for temperature stabilization and for storing heat with large energy densities in combination with rather small temperature changes.

متن کاملImprovement of thermal performance of a solar chimney based on a passive solar heating system with phase-change materials
Passive solar systems such as solar chimneys need solar radiation in order to work. Therefore, they cannot present stable natural ventilation when solar energy vanishes: to have a more robust and stable condition, solar energy should be stored during the day and released back during the night. Phase change materials can save additional thermal energy during the day and release it during the nig...
