Experimental and numerical investigation on shell and coil storage unit with biodegradable PCM for modular thermal battery applications

Rafal Andrzejczyk et al.

Summary: Thermal energy storage (TES) is becoming increasingly important in automotive applications, as it can effectively reduce energy consumption, CO2 emissions, and improve thermal comfort in electric and hybrid vehicles. This paper focuses on the optimization of key coil designing parameters for TES in plug-in electric vehicles, in order to meet the ambitious target of reducing CO2 emissions by 15% in new cars by 2025. Both experimental and CFD results were used to optimize coil geometrical parameters, and a prototype of TES in the form of a honeycomb battery of individual modules was proposed. The results showed that increasing the diameter and pitch of the coil reduced melting and solidification time, and the optimization was applicable for TES with hexagonal shell geometry as well.

Numerical study of ice freezing process on fin aided thermal energy storage system

Amrita Sharma et al.

Summary: The study focuses on the solidification process of water as a phase change material in a latent thermal energy storage system, involving optimization of longitudinal fins for enhanced heat transfer rate and parametric analysis on refrigerant temperature, tube diameter, and tube orientation effects. Results show that 15 fins achieve the optimal balance between solidification rate and stored PCM mass, with a 20% overall increase in heat transfer rate. Change in tube orientation results in minimal enhancement, while lower tube wall temperature significantly speeds up solidification time compared to higher temperatures.

Parametric study of phase change time reduction in a shell-and-tube ice storage system with anchor-type fin design

Farhad Afsharpanah et al.

Summary: This paper introduces an innovative anchor-type longitudinal fin design that improves the phase change process in shell-and-tube ice storage units. The design has a more significant effect on the melting process and can greatly improve the melting time. By breaking the unwanted thermal stratification, it also diminishes the undesirable effects of natural convection.

CFD analysis on optimizing the annular fin parameters toward an improved storage response in a triple-tube containment system

Abdullah Bahlekeh et al.

Summary: By employing annular fins and optimizing their structural parameters, the melting response of a triple-tube latent heat storage system can be improved. Increasing the number of fins enhances heat communication and leads to faster melting and higher heat storage rate. Furthermore, adding an extra fin at the bottom with limited heat diffusion can further improve system performance.

Evaluation of T-Shaped Fins With a Novel Layout for Improved Melting in a Triple-Tube Heat Storage System

Mohammadreza Ebrahimnataj Tiji et al.

Summary: This study numerically investigates the effects of T-shaped fins on the melting performance of phase change materials (PCM) in a vertical triple-tube storage containment. The results reveal that the improvement potential of T-shaped fins lies in the fin's body rather than the head. Additionally, adding a flat fin significantly enhances the total heat storage rate and reduces the melting time.
