Experimental investigation of PCM spheres in thermal energy storage system
(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 ...
Effectiveness–NTU correlation for low temperature PCM encapsulated in spheres
(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 ...
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 ...
