High-temperature PCM is a key component for storing latent heat. This is necessary for efficient energy storage in connection with the two-phase heat transfer fluid water/steam. Due to the low thermal conductivity of the nitrate salts used for high-temperature PCM storage, it is necessary to...

In this work, a CFD-based model is proposed to analyse the effect of phase change materials (PCMs) on the thermal behaviour of the walls of a cubicle exposed to the environment and on the resistance of the walls to climate changes. The effect of several days of exposure to the environment was...

Thermal energy storage systems for both heat and cold are necessary for many industrial processes. High energy density and high power capacity are desirable properties of the storage. The use of latent heat increases the energy density of the storage tank with high temperature control close to...
