Review on application of phase change material in water tanks

Abstract: Latent heat storage with phase change material is a superior way of storing thermal energy because of its high thermal storage density, isothermal nature of the storage process, and easy control. In recent years, latent heat storage systems have been increasingly used in building energy conservation, solar heating systems, and waste heat recovery systems. The water tank as a key component of solar heating systems has been widely applied in practical applications. This article first reviews the research on the … Show more

“…El empleo de la energía solar térmica representa una fuente de energía renovable cada vez más atractiva; sin embargo, uno de los factores clave que determinan el desarrollo de esta tecnología es su integración a sistemas de almacenamiento de energía térmica, eficientes y rentable para superar el carácter intermitente de la luz solar y ser más económicamente competitivos [71], [72]. El considerable incremento en el número de investigaciones y patentes vinculadas con esta tecnología en losúltimos años da fe del protagonismo de la acumulación térmica como práctica energética.…”

“…''A review on phase change material application in building'' by Y Cui et al 1 presents a review on PCM application situations in building, and several aspects are discussed: major applications in building, thermal-physical properties, and effects of application. ''Review on application of phase change material in water tanks'' by L Xie et al 2 reviews the research on the water tank integrated with PCM in terms of existing research methods and heat transfer enhancing technologies and then summarizes the applications of various PCM-based water tanks. Finally, the further research suggestions on the PCMbased water tank are proposed.…”

“…Encapsulation can provide a large heat transfer area, reduce the PCM's reactivity with its surroundings, and control the volume change of the PCM during the phase change . Adding encapsulated PCMs into water tanks can enable cyclic absorption and release thermal energy owing to the stable PCM heat transfer . Further, it can mitigate the potential for water off‐gassing by reaching its boiling point and/or rapid temperature drops overnight .…”
