“…Another empirical study reports that a reduction in energy consumption of 48.5% and 44% in both summer and winter could be achieved via PCM being placed inside holes in bricks [20]. Other studies have come to similar conclusions that confirm the potential benefits of using PCMs [21][22][23][24][25]. Also, PCMs infused into wallboards through various techniques have shown to provide significant reductions in gained heat and thermal energy [26][27][28][29][30].…”

The consequences of extreme energy consumption are seen both in the energy and environmental crisis. Subsequently, researchers are attempting to find methods to address this issue. Building envelopes and insulation materials are elements that can effectively influence consumption through their passive effect on thermal comfort levels. Strategies pertaining to this that rely on both, advanced and traditional materials, have been able to show good potential. However, the technical complexity of using such strategies can be impeded from the perspective of developing countries. With the aim of creating effective low-cost feasible insulations through using methods of minimal intricacies, the potentials of simple amalgamation of materials is empirically investigated in this study. In this context, closed-cell rigid Polyurethane (PU) foam is used as a base to hold phase change materials (PCMs) to create two PU/PCM panels, of different PCM content. The thermal performance of the panels is experimentally examined and compared, with hot-arid climates prevailing in developing countries in mind. Results revealed that panels containing PCMs were able to perform more effectively in comparison with regular PU foam panels, and, that increasing the amount of PCM has also shown to be advantageous in this regard.

The energy storage application plays a vital role in the utilization of the solar energy technologies. There are various types of the energy storage applications are available in the todays world. Phase change materials (PCMs) are suitable for various solar energy systems for prolonged heat energy retaining, as solar radiation is sporadic. This literature review presents the application of the PCM in solar thermal power plants, solar desalination, solar cooker, solar air heater, and solar water heater. Even though the availability and cost of PCMs are complex and high, the PCMs are used in most solar energy methods due to their significant technical parameters improvisation. This review's detailed findings paved the way for future recommendations and methods for the investigators to carry work for further system developments.

“…However, most of them focused on low-or mid-temperature non-metallic PCMs like paraffin or salt hydrates. Xu et al [19] found deviations in the storage capacity determined by T-history and full-scale tests which were performed with sodium acetate trihydrate-based PCM in a temperature range up to 61 • C. Klimes et al [20] reported on the influence of experimental techniques and conditions on the behaviour of PCMs. However, their review article only discusses non-metallic PCMs in the low or medium temperature range.…”

Simulative Investigation of Thermal Capacity Analysis Methods for Metallic Latent Thermal Energy Storage Systems

Latent heat storage systems are a promising technology for storing and providing thermal energy with low volume, mass and cost requirements, especially when operated at high temperatures. Metallic phase change materials are particularly advantageous for high thermal input and output, which is especially important for mobile applications. When designing a storage system, it is essential to have precise knowledge about the potential storage capacity. However, the system’s storage capacity is typically calculated from material properties determined at lab scale, although systemic boundary conditions can have a considerable influence. Systemic influences can result from thermal and reactive interfaces or from the storage design. In order to consider these influences, we propose three calorimetric procedures to thermally analyse high-temperature metallic latent energy storage systems at an application scale. We examined the procedures in a transient simulation environment, monitoring the storage capacity of the system. The procedure, based on adiabatic conditions, shows the least deviation from the simulation input parameters, but is limited to the heating process of the storage. Discharging the storage can be represented by isoperibolic conditions with controlled heat exchange. The precision of the procedures depends on the evaluation routine, the calibration routine, the heat extraction rate and the thermal inertia of the test bench.
