Thermal-energy storage: Dynamic performance characteristics of cans each containing a phase-change material, assembled as a packed-bed
TL;DR: In this article, the transient behavior of a latent-heat thermal energy store has been measured experimentally and predicted via a computer model, and the variations of the overall heat-transfer coefficient as well as its mean integrated value has been obtained.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental investigation and a dynamic simulation of the solar-assisted energy-storaged heat pump system
TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of the solar-assisted and energy-storaged series heat pump system and other conventional heat pump systems with no energy storage (series and parallel) was investigated and compared.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
An overview of phase change materials and their implication on power demand
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an introduction to previous works on thermal energy storage with respect to these applications, focusing mostly on applications involving a reduction of electric power consumption, rather than pin-point information on novel aspect of the subject.
Journal ArticleDOI
Concentrated Parabolic Solar Distiller with latent heat storage capacity
TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of the stationary reflector/tracking-absorber (SRTA) solar collector with tubular absorber was analyzed and different multi-reflection zones of the mirror were found.

Thermal energy storage using sodium sulfate decahydrate and water
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the major problem preventing use of sodium sulfate decahydrate for thermal energy storage can be avoided by using the composition which is at or slightly to the water-rich side of the invariant point in the phase diagram.

Thermal energy storage for solar heating and off-peak air conditioning
TL;DR: Parametric designs for two latent heat materials (sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate and a paraffin wax) and for a sensible heat material (a 1:1 mixture of water and ethylene glycol) were compared as to cost, performance, and space requirements.

An investigation of the thermal energy storage capacity of Glauber's salt with respect to thermal cycling
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the thermal energy storage capacity of the unthickened mixture to the thickened mixture as a function of thermal cycling and showed a significant improvement in performance of the thinnened mixture over that of the Glauber's salt and borax mixture.
