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.
Hence, to maximize the performance of the phase change heat storage device, coupling the multistage PCM package with other enhanced heat transfer methods is often necessary. Li37introduced a novel thermal energy storage approach that utilizes CLHS to mitigate thermal energy losses in an adiabatic compressed air energy storage system.
Then, the application of phase change heat storage technology in different fields is discussed, including building energy saving, thermal management of electronic equipment, solar energy system and energy storage system.
In comparison with sensible heat storage devices, phase change thermal storage devices have advantages such as high heat storage density, low heat dissipation loss, and good cyclic performance, which have great potential for solving the problem of temporal and spatial imbalances in the transfer and utilization of heat energy.
However, there are also issues such as the small thermal conductivity of phase change materials (PCMs) and poor efficiency in heat storage and release, and in recent years, enhanced heat transfer in phase change thermal storage devices has become one of the research hotspots for optimizing thermal storage devices.
The performance evaluation of any energy storage-based heat exchanger depends on the energy storage efficiency (ESE), energy storage density (ESD), temperature of charging/discharging, rate of charging/discharging process, economy, etc.
