Figure 1 B is a schematic of a PCM storing heat from a heat source and transferring heat to a heat sink. The PCM consists of a composite Field’s metal having a large volumetric latent heat (≈315 MJ/m 3) and a copper (Cu) conductor having a high thermal conductivity (≈384 W/ (m ⋅ K)), to enable both high energy density and cooling power.
A conventional PCM storage system with heat exchangers also presents some problems, particularly during the withdrawal of energy from the storage system. The PCM freezes on the heat exchanger surface resulting in a poor heat-transfer rate due to the low thermal conductivity of paraffin wax.
Thermal storage behavior of the PCM is compared with pure Cu for (D) heat source temperature (Tsource), (E) stored heat flux (q″stored), and (F) stored energy (E). The temperatures and zones at which melting or solidification occur are key parameters for PCMs. Superheating rarely occurs in PCMs.
