1. Introduction. The perennial growth in the greenhouse gas emissions level added to the climbing fuel prices caused driving forces to more utilization of renewable energy sources. Direct solar radiation can be considered the most prospective sources of energy in Middle East and North Africa countries (Kazem, 2012).
Phase change material (PCM), Thermal energy storage (TES), Visualization, solid-liquid phase front. paraffin wax (PW) Heat transfer fluid (HTF) I. INTRODUCTION Thermal energy storage using the latent heat of PCM has received considerable attention
Thermal energy storage (TES) with phase change materials (PCMs) can potentially provide higher volumetric TES capacity when compared to sensible energy storage systems [1], [2]. Besides, PCMs are well known to be excellent TES materials owing to their advantages such as high fusion latent heat per unit of mass, availability in large …
Successful utilization of the latent heat energy storage unit depends considerably on the thermal reliability and stability of the phase change materials (PCMs) used. Insufficiently long term use of PCMs is due to poor stability of the materi-al properties. Thus, thermal ...
Special wax for phase change energy storage material is a special wax with phase change temperature of 20-80, which can be widely used in building energy saving, daily necessities, textile, medical care, and has superior performance.
