sensible heat in water for short term applications. Adding PCM (phase change material) modules at the top of the water tank … would give the system a higher storage density and compensate heat loss in the top layer because of the latent heat of PCM … University of Lleida, Spain. In this work, new PCM-graphite compounds with optimized thermal properties were used, such as 80 …

The aim of this study is to prepare a novel form-stable phase change material (PCM) for latent heat thermal energy … perlite (EP). Thermal properties, thermal reliability, and thermal conductivity of the form-stable composite PCM are … determined. The maximum CA–MA absorption of EP was found to be 55wt% without melted PCM seepage from the composite, and therefore …

Analysis of energy and exergy has been performed for a latent heat storage system with phase change material (PCM) for … a flat-plate solar collector. CaCl2·6H2O was used as PCM in thermal energy storage (TES) system. The designed collector … collector. A special heat transfer fluid was used to transfer heat from collector to PCM. Exergy analysis, which is based on the …

The performance of a compact phase change material (PCM) solar collector based on latent heat storage was investigated … PCM. The solar energy was stored in paraffin wax, which was used as a PCM, and was discharged to cold water flowing in … collector for water heating. The time-wise temperatures of the PCM were recorded during the processes of charging and …
