An experimental study on the latent heat storage system (LHS) using paraffin wax as a phase change material (PCM) was performed to analyze thermal physiognomies. The use of phase change materials (BM) through latent heat storage (LSS) is an unusual approach to maintaining thermal energy.
The use of phase change materials (BM) through latent heat storage (LSS) is an unusual approach to maintaining thermal energy. There is the benefit of high energy storage density and the equal temperature of the storage process. Tubes in shell type heat exchanger (HE) has been used in this project.
Unlike batteries or capacitors, phase change materials don’t store energy as electricity, but heat. This is done by using the unique physical properties of phase changes – in the case of a material transitioning between solid and liquid phases, or liquid and gas. When heat energy is applied to a material, such as water, the temperature increases.
A wide variety of materials have been studied for heat storage through the phase change effect. Paraffin wax is perhaps one of the most commonly studied, thanks to its phase change occuring in a useful temperature range. However, its low thermal conductivity limits the rate at which energy can be exchanged, hampering performance.
The most common way this is done is with large batteries, however, it’s not the only game in town. Phase change materials are proving to be a useful tool to store excess energy and recover it later – storing energy not as electricity, but as heat. Let’s take a look at how the technology works, and some of its most useful applications.
The material definition of PCM can be seen as the most critical step during the application because phase change materials have a wide thermophysical properties range. One of the most commonly used PCMs is known as paraffin wax .
