High-temperature composite thermal energy storage for industrial applications

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6071974
An advanced, thermal energy storage (TES) subsystem is being developed by the Institute of Gas Technology (IGT) which employs composite phase change material (PCM)/sensible heat media (CompPhase). This medium/subsystem is amenable to high temperature thermal storage applications such as industrial reject/process heat recovery and utilization, off-peak utility, and solar thermal and solar dynamic space power systems. The CompPhase 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 tube intensive indirect contact molten-salt latent-heat-based storage subsystems.
