6 FAQs about [Phase change energy storage patent]
Are phase change materials suitable for thermal energy storage?
Phase change materials (PCMs) having a large latent heat during solid-liquid phase transition are promising for thermal energy storage applications. However, the relatively low thermal conductivity of the majority of promising PCMs (<10 W/ (m ⋅ K)) limits the power density and overall storage efficiency.
What determines the value of a phase change material?
The value of a phase change material is defined by its energy and power density—the total available storage capacity and the speed at which it can be accessed. These are influenced by material properties but cannot be defined with these properties alone.
Do thermal storage materials have a trade-off between energy and power?
Researchers have developed figures of merit 12, 25, 26 to try to quantify the trade-off between the energy and power capabilities for thermal storage materials, and these figures of merit have been used to construct approximations of thermal Ragone plots 27.
What are the design principles for improved thermal storage?
Although device designs are application dependent, general design principles for improved thermal storage do exist. First, the charging or discharging rate for thermal energy storage or release should be maximized to enhance efficiency and avoid superheat.
Does phase separation exist in eutectic PCMS?
However, phase separation may exist in eutectic PCMs when one of the solid phases supercools.41 To design ideal PCMs such as congruent or eutectic melting systems, phase diagrams and Tamman plots are used to determine material compositions.42
How do you solve a phase change problem with a constant heat flux?
The numerical solution of the phase change problem having a constant heat flux boundary (q ″ = constant) as a function of time when the boundary superheat reaches Tw − Tm = 10 K forms the upper limit of the shaded bands.
