Experimental Study for Heat Exchanger Designs Using Phase Change Material
Résumé
Thermal energy storage is today one of the solutions to correct the mismatch between energy supply and demand, especially when dealing with intermittent renewable energies such as solar. Latent heat storage provides high storage density when a narrow operating temperature is required. The present article deals with thermal batteries consisting of biobased phase change material (bPCM), as storage material, and plate heat exchanger. The objective is to assess the impact of operational parameters (temperature, flow) and design (distance between the plates) on the energy performance of the thermal battery. Furthermore, the performance assessment will aim to determine the best configuration and operating conditions to achieve maximum heat transfer efficiency while minimizing environmental impact. Finally, the results could be useful for designing more sustainable and environmentally friendly heating, cooling and energy storage systems in various residential application fields.
