Role of phase change materials in thermal energy storage:
The long-term stability, phase segregation and supercooling were analysed. Thermal energy storage (TES) using phase change materials (PCM) have become promising
View DetailsPhase change materials (PCMs) having a large latent heat during solid-liquid phase transition are promising for thermal energy storage applications. However, the relatively low thermal conductivity of the majority of promising PCMs (<10 W/ (m ⋅ K)) limits the power density and overall storage efficiency.
Solid-liquid phase change materials (PCMs) have been studied for decades, with application to thermal management and energy storage due to the large latent heat with a relatively low temperature or volume change.
The performance of the heat storage system was analyzed, and the effect of different design parameters such as the thermal conductivity of the PCM, the heat transfer fluid flow rate and the diameter of the heat exchange tube on the system performance was studied.
The paraffin can maintain the phase change process for about 10 h at this temperature, which fully meets the requirements of the solar thermal storage. When the temperature reaches 105 ° and 115 °, the utilization rate of the paraffin in the thermal storage tank was further improved.
There are two tanks assembled on the bench in order to provide a research foundation for studying the influence of different PCMs and structures on the heat transfer efficiency in phase change heat storage technology. The multi-tube bundle fin structure is optimized in this bench, which significantly improves the heat exchange efficiency.
