Economic, Energetic and Exergetic Study of a Water Tank including Pcm Modules Inside

چکیده
The Research Group in Applied Energy (GREA) started a research work on Phase Change Materials (PCMs) in 1999. Since then we have been working on different aspects of these materials and have carried out a substantial amount of experiments (thickening, corrosion, heat transfer enhancement) in the laboratory with various types of phase change materials: paraffins, salt hydrates and even fatty acids. Selecting the most suitable PCM for the corresponding application is a crucial point for the good performance of the application.

Optimization of the PCM-integrated solar domestic hot water system under different thermal stratification conditions
Many researchers have investigated how to increase the overall efficiency of solar-driven thermal systems. Several key parameters, such as collector efficiency and storage tank characteristics, may impose some constraints on the annual solar fraction (ASF) of such systems. In this paper, the behaviour of integrating the phase change material (PCM) in SDHW systems is modelled and optimized n...

متن کاملNumerical evaluation of multi-layered solid-PCM thermocline-like tanks as thermal energy storage systems for CSP applications
The two-tank system is the technology used for thermal energy storage (TES) in current concentrating solar power (CSP) plants. Thermocline storage concept has been considered for more than a decade as a possible solution to reduce the high cost of the storage system in these plants. In previous works, multi-layered solid-PCM (MLSPCM) thermocline-like storage tank configurations has been introdu...
متن کاملOn the Behavior of Different PCMs in a Hot Water Storage Tank against Thermal Demands
Advantages, such as thermal storage improvement, are found when using PCMs (Phase Change Materials) in storage tanks. The inclusion of three different types of materials in a 60 l test tank is studied. Two test methodologies were developed, and four tests were performed following each methodology. A thermal analysis is performed to check the thermal properties of each PCM. The distributions of ...
