Abstract:Cold Thermal Energy Storage is an upcoming need for sustainable energy consumption and storage. It finds application in wide variety of energy need in the sub-zero temperature zone. This work aims to study the effect of various surfactants on solidification characteristics of spherically encapsulated DI water with different surfactants. A constant temperature bath at -7°C is used to charge spherical encapsulated PCM using VCR system. Tween 80, Gum Arabic (also known as Gum Acacia) and PVP K30 are selected as s… Show more
