The integration of cold energy storage in cooling system is an effective approach to improve the system reliability and performance. This review provides an overview and recent advances of the cold thermal energy storage (CTES) in refrigeration cooling systems and discusses the operation control for system optimization.
We propose the use of cold thermal energy storage method with phase change materials for cold storage to address these issues. Thermal energy storage (TES) with phase change materials (PCMs) has several advantages including large energy density [ 18, 19] and constant temperature during the phase transition [ 20, 21 ].
Increased flow and lower cold discharge temperature increase cold discharge capacity. With different settings, the cooling efficiency is 83%. Mousavi et al. (2022) evaluated a liquid air energy storage (LAES) system from a thermodynamic and economic perspective.
As a key indicator, it is one of the primary to be considered when selecting the material for applications in energy storage systems. For example, ice has a high latent heat (335 kJ kg −1) and a suitable refrigeration temperature, giving it a relatively wide range of applications [22, 62].
Last but not least, the cold storage can increase the system reliability by supplying the cooling capacity under different unforeseen conditions such as a power blackout situation or component failure in the refrigeration system. There are three strategies to operate a CTES that is integrated into a refrigeration system.
Other refrigeration system, like absorption and adsorption, can also be coupled with CTES . As like the solar-powered refrigeration systems contain three subsystems: refrigeration cycle system, cold storage system and cooling cycle system.
