Pemanas Air Tenaga Matahari (PATM) konvensional umumnya menggunakan air sebagai penyimpan energi termal. Pemakaian sensible heat storage (SHS) ini memiliki kekurangan, diantaranya adalah densitas energinya rendah. Di sisi lain, latent heat storage (LHS) mempunyai sifat khas yaitu densitas energinya tinggi karena melibatkan perubahan fasa dalam penyerapan atau pelepasan kalor. Material LHS sering disebut phase change material (PCM). Penggunaan PCM pada PATM menarik dilakukan untuk meningkatkan densitas energi sistem. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menyelidiki perilaku termal penggunaan paraffin wax di dalam tangki PATM jenis thermosyphon. Penelitian menggunakan kolektor matahari pelat datar dan tangki thermal energy storage (TES) yang dipasang secara horisontal di sisi atas kolektor. Di dalam tangki terdapat alat penukar kalor yang terdiri dari sekumpulan pipa kapsul dimana di dalamnya berisi paraffin wax. Air digunakan sebagai SHS dan heat transfer fluid (HTF). Termokopel dipasang di sisi HTF dan sisi PCM. Piranometer dan sensor temperatur udara luar diletakkan di dekat kolektor matahari. Pengambilan data dilakukan selama proses charging. Temperatur HTF, PCM dan intensitas radiasi matahari direkam setiap 30 detik. Data ini digunakan untuk mengetahui evolusi temperatur HTF dan PCM. Berdasarkan evolusi temperatur ini kemudian dianalisis perilaku termal PATM. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah bahwa paraffin wax telah berfungsi sebagai penyimpan energi termal bersama air di dalam tangki PATM jenis thermosyphon. PCM memberi kontribusi yang cukup signifikan terhadap kapasitas penyimpanan energi sistem. Efisiensi kolektor lebih optimal karena PCM dapat mempertahankan stratifikasi termal sampai akhir charging. Adanya PCM mampu mengendalikan penurunan efisiensi pengumpulan energi saat intensitas radiasi matahari menurun. Alat penukar kalor yang digunakan cukup efektif yang ditandai dengan kecepatan pemanasan rata-rata antara HTF dan PCM yang tidak berbeda jauh.

Latent heat thermal energy storage systems incorporate phase change materials (PCMs) as storage materials. The high energy density of PCMs, their ability to store at nearly constant temperature, and the diversity of available materials make latent heat storage systems particularly competitive technologies for reducing energy consumption in buildings. This work reviews recent experimental and numerical studies on the integration of PCMs in building envelopes for passive energy storage. The results of the different studies show that the use of PCMs can reduce the peak temperature and smooth the thermal load. The integration of PCMs can be done on the entire building envelope (walls, roofs, windows). Despite many advances, some aspects remain to be studied, notably the long-term stability of buildings incorporating PCMs, the issues of moisture and mass transfer, and the consideration of the actual use of the building. Based on this review, we have identified possible contributions to improve the efficiency of passive systems incorporating PCMs. Thus, fatty acids and their eutectic mixtures, combined with natural insulators, such as vegetable fibers, were chosen to make shape-stabilized PCMs composites. These composites can be integrated in buildings as a passive thermal energy storage material.

Latent Heat Storage

Latent heat storage in salt mixture has drawn so much attention because of the salt mixture’s capability of storing   large quantity of heat when compared to single salt thereby, making it more feasible for use as phase change material.  However it is worthwhile to find out among various combination of salts forming eutectic   mixtures, the one that has the best energy storage capability by evaluating   and comparing their melting points and latent heat storage. So in this research work, four different types of eutectic mixture of   salts were prepared and experimentally   investigated for the best thermal energy storage capability.  The first eutectic mixture consists of 2.6g of LiNO3, 6.4g of NH4NO3   and 1g of NaNO3. The second eutectic mixture consists of1.75g of LiNO3,   3.9g of NH4NO3 and 1.1g of KNO3. The third one consists of 5.2g of   LiNO3, 13.7g   of NH4NO3 and 1g of NH4Cl) and the fourth one consists of 1.77g of LiNO3, 2.94g of NH4NO3,  1g of NaNO3 and 1g of NaCl. The latent heat and the melting point of the respective salt and their eutectic mixture were determined using digital differential scanning Apparatus.  The results obtained showed that the melting points and latent heats of  the first, second, third and fourth eutectic mixture  were 79.50C and 112kJ/kg,  80.50C and 114kJ/kg,  81.40C and 109kJ/kg,  84.40C and 119kJ/kg respectively.  In view of this, the eutectic mixture of 1.77g of LiNO3, 2.94g of NH4NO3, 1g of NaNO3 and 1g of NaCl with melting point of 84.40C and latent heat of 119KJ/Kg was found to possess the best thermal energy storage capability compared to others..Keywords—Eutectic mixture, Salts, Phase change materials (PCM), Latent heat storage

Storage Mechanism

A CFD analysis is performed in two different heat storage mediums, water and paraffin phase change material (PCM), in order to evaluate and compare the two mediums for use in heating thermal energy storage (HTES) applications. The two mediums use different heat storing mechanisms, namely water uses Sensible Heat Storage, and the PCM Latent heat storage. The applied computational domain represents a single tube of a heat exchanger (HE), and so it comprises of a copper tube with aluminium fins. The geometric characteristics of the domain are taken in accordance with commercially used HE’s for HTES applications [1]. The characteristics studied are the stored energy of the system, the temperature of the heat transfer fluid (HTF) in the outlet and the temperature of the storage medium. The results of the simulations showed that for the same mass of storage mediums, the PCM can store more energy than water, for the same temperature of the HTF, as expected. Also, the temperature of the medium for the sensible heat storage rises linearly with the energy stored inside it, while in the latent heat storage mechanism, the temperature of the medium rises linearly till the melting (or solidification) of it, then stays almost steady until the melting of the whole volume and then rises again until it reaches the temperature of the HTF.

Compressed Air Energy Storage is a promising large-scale storage system in part because of its high power rating during discharge. But it is not the cleanest way of storing energy due to the necessity of an external heat source (typically the combustion of natural gas) to heat the air at the turbine inlet. This problem can be overcome with Thermal Energy Storage by storing the thermal energy of air at the compressor exhaust in order to be used for heating air before turbine. In this study, a numerical transient heat transfer model of Thermal Energy Storage is developed and the performance of Thermal Energy Storage is investigated based on heat storage capacity, required time to store unit amount of energy and air temperature profiles at the outlet of Thermal Energy Storage during discharge for the system. High heat storage per volume is necessary for more compact systems. Required time to store unit amount of energy is desired to be short for a fixed volume Thermal Energy Storage in order to maintain continuous operation; on the other hand, air at the outlet (turbine inlet) should be at a high temperature for the longest time possible to supply hot air to turbine. In order to investigate the effects of operating parameters, different volumes of Thermal Energy Storage tank filled with different storage mediums of various sizes are explored. Latent Heat and Sensible Heat Thermal Energy Storage systems are compared using magnesium chloride hexahydrate, paraffin, myristic acid and naphthalene as phase change materials and rock as sensible storage medium. Results show that Latent Heat Thermal Energy Storage gives a better performance than Sensible Heat Thermal Energy Storage. Among phase change materials, magnesium chloride hexahydrate provides the highest heat storage per volume. Required time to store unit amount of energy are comparable among the phase change materials. Magnesium chloride hexahydrate seems promising considering the discharge temperature profile at the Thermal Energy Storage outlet. Capsule size should be kept as small as possible which can be challenging in terms of manufacturing.

Kinetic characteristics of thermal energy storage (TES) using tetrabutylammonium acrylate (TBAAc) hydrate were experimentally evaluated for practical use as PCMs. Mechanical agitation or ultrasonic vibration was added to detach the hydrate adhesion on the heat exchanger, which could be a thermal resistance. The effect of the external forces also was evaluated by changing their rotation rate and frequency. When the agitation rate was 600 rpm, the system achieved TES density of 140 MJ/m3 in 2.9 hours. This value is comparable to the ideal performance of ice TES when its solid phase fraction is 45%. UA/V (U: thermal transfer coefficient, A: surface area of the heat exchange coil, V: volume of the TES medium) is known as an index of the ease of heat transfer in a heat exchanger. UA/V obtained in this study was comparable to that of other common heat exchangers, which means the equivalent performance would be available by setting the similar UA/V. In this study, we succeeded in obtaining practical data for heat storage by TBAAc hydrate. The data obtained in this study will be a great help for the practical application of hydrate heat storage in the future.
