Inverse latent heat thermal energy storage system, method for capturing and releasing latent heat

Patent Singh, Dileep; France, David M.; Yu, Wenhua

The invention provides a method for storing and releasing heat having the steps of thermally contacting thermal transfer fluid to a mixture of foam and phase change material for a time sufficient for the material to change from a first phase to a second phase during a time when electricity rates are at a first price point; maintaining said material in the second phase until electricity rates are at a second point, wherein the second point is higher than the first price point; and thermally contacting the thermal transfer fluid to the composite in the second phase for a timemore » « less

Method of making improved gas storage carbon with enhanced thermal conductivity

Patent Burchell, Timothy D [Oak Ridge, TN]; Rogers, Michael R [Knoxville, TN]

A method of making an adsorbent carbon fiber based monolith having improved methane gas storage capabilities is disclosed. Additionally, the monolithic nature of the storage carbon allows it to exhibit greater thermal conductivity than conventional granular activated carbon or powdered activated carbon storage beds. The storage of methane gas is achieved through the process of physical adsorption in the micropores that are developed in the structure of the adsorbent monolith. The disclosed monolith is capable of storing greater than 150 V/V of methane [i.e., >150 STP (101.325 KPa, 298K) volumes of methane per unit volume of storage vessel internal volume]more » at a pressure of 3.5 MPa (500 psi). « less
