Latent heat storage with tubular-encapsulated phase change materials (PCMs)
Abstract Heat capture and storage is important in both solar energy projects and in the recovery of waste heat from industrial processes. Whereas heat capture will mostly rely on the use of a heat carrier, the high efficiency heat storage needs to combine sensible and latent heat storage with phase change materials (PCMs) to provide a high energy ...

Macro-Encapsulation of Inorganic Phase-Change Materials (PCM) in Metal Capsules [PDF]
The design of phase-change material (PCM)-based thermal energy storage (TES) systems is challenging since a lot of PCMs have low thermal conductivities and a considerable volume change during phase-change. The low thermal conductivity restricts energy transport due to the increasing thermal resistance of the progressing phase boundary and hence large ...
