Experimental investigation of latent heat storage in a coil in PCM storage unit

Experimental investigation of the thermal performance of a helical coil latent heat thermal energy storage for solar energy applications

“…(9) for a constant HTF flow rate (3 L/min). A significant effect of the initial HTF temperature on the PCM temperature is evident which is completely agreed with literature, for example see [31,32,34,36].…”

“…Quantitatively, they found that 14 kg of PCM can provide approximately 100 L of warm water with temperature of 55 . Korti and Tlemsani [32] tested three different types of paraffin as a PCM in a helical coil thermal energy storage system under different HTF flow rates and temperatures. By analysing the temperature of the PCM and the HTF, the solid fraction in the PCM and the thermal effectiveness, they observed that the HTF flow rate has a more significant effect on the charging process than it does on the discharging process.…”

Design and synthesis of multifunctional microencapsulated phase change materials with silver/silica double-layered shell for thermal energy storage, electrical conduction and antimicrobial effectiveness

“…This experimental setup was widely used to evaluate the effect of ambient temperature on the latent-heat storage and release of a PCM, and it could supply valuable information for thermal behaviors of the PCMs encapsulated in the required size and shape considering phase-change and heat transfer characteristics [58]. Fig.…”

Thermal energy storage using stearic acid as PCM material

“…The influence of the heat transfer fluid flow rate on the performance of the shell and tube heat exchanger was established. Korti and Tlemsani [17] carried out experimental study with three types of paraffin as PCM. The temperatures of PCM and heat transfer fluid, solid fraction and thermal effectiveness were analyzed.…”
