High temperature composite thermal storage systems

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5913331

An advanced, thermal energy storage subsystem is being developed by IGT which employs composite phase change material (PCM)/sensible heat material media. This media/subsystem is amenable to high temperature thermal storage applications such as industrial reject/process heat recovery and utilization, off-peak utility and solar thermal power system applications. The concept allows for direct contact heat exchange between the latent/sensible storage media and compatible working fluids. A number of potentially significant TES system performance and cost advantages are thereby offered over conventional molten-salt latent-heat based storage subsystems.
