Simulation study on charging performance of the latent energy storage heat exchanger with a novel conical inner tube

Hui Dai et al.

Summary: This paper focuses on the configuration optimization of a vertical shell-and-tube latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) unit to enhance heat storage rate. It explores the effects of cone angle values on the heat storage performance and proposes a novel conical tube configuration design to eliminate the hard-to-melt zone. The research results provide reference for engineering design and configuration optimization.

Effect of inner-tube spacing on charging and discharging performance of latent energy storage heat exchangers

Haotian Li et al.

Summary: This study numerically simulated the charging and discharging processes of horizontal dual-inner-tube heat exchangers and investigated the effects of inner-tube spacing on their performance. The results showed that inner-tube spacing influenced the phase change time, charging rate, and discharging rate. The optimal performance parameters were obtained when the inner-tube spacing was 20 mm.
