Superheated steam production from a large-scale latent heat storage system within a cogeneration plant [PDF]
Communications Engineering, 2023 During phase change, phase change materials absorb or release latent heat at a nearly constant temperature. Latent heat thus can be stored and integrated with evaporation/condensation systems such as steam generators within a relatively narrow range of ...
