A critical review on phase change material energy storage systems with cascaded configurations

S. Christopher et al.

Summary: This paper reviews the performance of cascaded or multiple phase change materials (PCMs) in latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) systems, highlighting the potential for improving energy component performance through cascaded techniques and other enhancement approaches. It also discusses the influence of stage numbers on the cascaded LHTES unit performance and provides a recommended range for these parameters. The study suggests that replacing single PCM with multiple PCMs can enhance the performance of thermal energy storage systems in terms of energy efficiency and charging/discharging rate.

Phase change behaviour study of PCM tanks partially filled with graphite foam

Chunrong Zhao et al.

Summary: This study examines the use of graphite foam inserts to improve the melting/solidification efficiency of high-temperature phase change materials. By evaluating different porosities and filling scenarios, it was found that higher foam porosity significantly reduces the overall melting/solidification time, making it a preferred design choice.
