- Abstract
Thermal energy storage plays a key role in the application of renewable energy sources and it contributes to the reduction of global CO2 emissions. Thermal energy storage is commonly based on the sensible or latent-heat-storage techniques. Latent-heat thermal storage is based on the absorption or release of heat when a storage material is changing its phase. The thermal storage materials suitable for latent-heat storage are called Phase-Change Materials (PCMs). PCMs have considerably higher thermal-energy-storage densities than the sensible-heat-storage materials and they are able to absorb large quantities of energy in a small range of temperatures during the phase change. The present work investigates, experimentally, the thermal performance of Sensible heat storage materials (Gravel and Granite) and phase change materials (Paraffin wax and MnCl2.4H2O). Water is the Heat Transfer Fluid (HTF) used for transferring heat from the constant power source (An immersion water heater). A Series of charging (Storing heat) and Discharging (Process of heat loss) processes are conducted to examine the thermal energy storage capacity of each material used. The significance of time-wise variation of Sensible Heat Storage Materials (SHS) and Phase Change Materials (PCM) temperatures during the discharging process was studied and analyzed.
