Assessment on the effect of longitudinal fins upon melting process in a latent heat thermal energy storage unit

Ci Ao et al.

Summary: Latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) units are an effective solution for energy balancing. To improve the heat transfer efficiency of phase change material (PCM) in LHTES units, a series of three-tube heat exchangers with longitudinal fins were designed. The study focused on the number, length, thickness, and arrangement of the fins. Results showed that thicker fins significantly reduced the melting time of the PCM. Thin long fins had a higher melting rate and were 10.6% faster than short thick fins. Additionally, a fin length of 30 mm was found to have a more reasonable structure and shortened the heat storage time by 18.0%. Arranging lower long and upper short fins enhanced heat transfer. N=20 was considered the optimal fin number due to diminishing heat storage capacity. Thus, an optimal fin design (N=20, L=30, W=1) reduced the PCM's total melting time by 71.2%. It is concluded that adding fins for heat transfer enhancement is more beneficial and saves energy charging time.

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.
