Effectiveness–NTU correlation for low temperature PCM encapsulated in spheres
Nasrul Amri, Mohd Amin; Bruno, Frank, Dr.; Belusko, Martin (Elsevier Ltd., 2012-05)The applicability of the effectiveness–NTU method for characterising a PCM thermal energy storage system was experimentally investigated. The system consisted of PCM encapsulated in spheres with a liquid heat transfer ... -
Experimental investigation of PCM spheres in thermal energy storage system
Nasrul Amri, Mohd Amin, Dr.; Azizul, Mohamad; Mohd Shukry, Abdul Majid, Dr.; Mohd Afendi, Rojan, Dr.; Bruno, Frank, Dr.; Belusko, Martin (Trans Tech Publications, 2013)This paper presents the experimental result of a small scale packed bed of random spheres with encapsulated PCM being charged and discharged. A vapor compression refrigerator and heated room with fan heater were used to ... -
Investigation of conducting pins in sphere filled with phase change material for enhancing heat transfer in thermal energy storage
Nasrul Amri, Mohd Amin; Bruno, Frank, Dr.; Belusko, Martin (Trans Tech Publications., 2012)The utilisation of phase change material (PCM) for thermal energy storage (TES) can significantly enhance the energy savings achievable with renewable thermal systems. Sphere based packed bed systems have been used as TES ... -
Optimising PCM thermal storage systems for maximum energy storage effectiveness
Nasrul Amri, Mohd Amin; Belusko, Martin; Bruno, Frank; Liu, Ming (Elsevier Ltd., 2012-09)A new performance parameter for PCM thermal storage systems, the energy storage effectiveness, is defined. This parameter can be used to optimise the design of any PCM thermal storage system to maximise the use of the ...
