Experimental investigation on discharging characteristics of supercooled CH3COONa·3H2O-Na2S2O3·5H2O mixtures triggered by local cooling with Peltier effect
Huili Wang,Guobing Zhou +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of local cooling by semiconductor refrigerator on triggering crystallization of supercooled SAT, STP and their binary mixtures with different mass ratios was investigated and the results showed that SAT has higher discharging temperature and longer discharging time than STP; but STP has less phase separation, better cycling stability and shorter induction period during the crystallization than SAT after repeated melting-freezing cycles.

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.
