Optimising PCM thermal storage systems for maximum energy storage effectiveness
(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 ...
Optimisation of a phase change thermal storage system
(World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology (WASET), 2009-10)
PCMs have always been viewed as a suitable candidate for off peak thermal storage, particularly for refrigeration systems, due to the high latent energy densities of these materials. However, due to the need to have them ...
