Preparation and characterization of a novel polymeric based solid–solid phase change heat storage material

TL;DR: In this paper, a two-step procedure for preparing a novel polymeric based solid-solid phase change heat storage material was reported, in which a copolymer monomer containing a polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether (MPEG) phase change unit and a vinyl unit was synthesized via the modification of hydrogen group of MPEG.

A hybrid thermal energy storage system for managing simultaneously solar and electric energy

TL;DR: In this paper, a hybrid thermal energy storage system (HTESS) is proposed for managing simultaneously the storage of heat from solar and electric energy, and the results indicate that the consumption of electricity for space heating is minimised when the HTESS consists of a 0.15 m thick wall comprising spherical capsules 0.065 m in diameter filled with n-octadecane.

Thermal energy storage using sodium sulfate decahydrate and water

Dipak R. Biswas
- 01 Jan 1977 - 
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.
