A review of phase change material and performance enhancement method for latent heat storage system
Y.B. Tao,Ya-Ling He +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a comparative review of phase change material (PCM) based LHS performance enhancement methods is presented, which can be classified into three categories: using high thermal conductivity additives and porous media to enhance PCM thermal conductivities, using finned tubes and encapsulated PCMs to extend heat transfer surface, using multistage or cascaded LHS technique and thermodynamic optimization to improve the heat transfer uniformity.
