Supercooling suppression and crystallization behaviour of erythritol/ expanded graphite as form-stable phase change material

Mengdi Yuan et al.

Summary: The study aims to mitigate the supercooling issue in erythritol/expanded graphite composite phase change materials, focusing on the correlation between morphology, kinetic parameters, and supercooling degree during non-isothermal crystallization. Various supercooling relaxation agents were tested to prepare the composite PCM, with nano-Al2O3 showing the best results. In addition, pressure and cooling rate were found to impact the supercooling degree and crystallization behavior of the composite PCM.

Experimental investigation on the energy storage/discharge performance of xylitol in a compact spiral coil heat exchanger

R. Anish et al.

Summary: The study investigates the use of thermal energy storage systems to address the intermittence of renewable energy sources, focusing on analyzing the heat transfer efficiency and performance of compact spiral coil thermal storage units. Experimental data shows that in this storage unit, the processes of heat storage and discharge of xylitol are mainly governed by natural convection and conduction, respectively.
