Abstract |
|
The use of a latent heat storage system using phase change materials is an effective way of storing thermal energy and has the advantages of high-energy storage density and the isothermal nature of the storage process. In this project a PCM based tube in tube heat exchanger is developed. The study focuses on the temperature distribution pattern of the phase change material during the process of charging and discharging. Also the distribution is studied at different mass flow rates of the heat transfer fluid. The results are obtained by experimentally carrying out the charging and discharging process at different mass flow rates. Paraffin wax has been used as the phase change material. This type of thermal energy storage system has a good potential of acting as a thermal storage device and can be used in solar water heating application. |
