Development of graphite foam infiltrated with MgCl 2 for a latent heat based thermal energy storage (LHTES) system

Journal Article Singh, Dileep ; Kim, Taeil ; Zhao, Weihuan ; ... - Renewable Energy

Thermal energy storage (TES) systems that are compatible with high temperature power cycles for concentrating solar power (CSP) require high temperature media for transporting and storing thermal energy. To that end, TES systems have been proposed based on the latent heat of fusion of the phase change materials (PCMs). However, PCMs have relatively low thermal conductivities. In this paper, use of high-thermal-conductivity graphite foam infiltrated with a PCM (MgCl2) has been investigated as a potential TES system. Graphite foams with two porosities were infiltrated with MgCl2. The infiltrated composites were evaluated for density, heat of fusion, melting/freezing temperatures, and thermalmore »« less

Development and prototype testing of MgCl 2 /graphite foam latent heat thermal energy storage system

Journal Article Singh, Dileep ; Yu, Wenhua ; Zhao, Weihuan ; ... - Solar Energy

Composites of graphite foam infiltrated with a magnesium chloride phase-change material have been developed as high-temperature thermal energy storage media for concentrated solar power applications. This storage medium provides a high thermal energy storage density, a narrow operating temperature range, and excellent heat transfer characteristics. In this study, experimental investigations were conducted on laboratory-scale prototypes with magnesium chloride/graphite foam composite as the latent heat thermal energy storage system. Prototypes were designed and built to monitor the melt front movement during the charging/discharging tests. A test loop was built to ensure the charging/discharging of the prototypes at temperatures > 700 degreesmore »« less

High Efficiency Latent Heat Based Thermal Energy Storage System Compatible with Supercritical CO₂ Power Cycle

Technical Report Singh, D. ; Yu, W. ; France, D. M.

As part of the SunShot Initiative’s 2013 Laboratory Proposal Development program, Argonne National Laboratory (Argonne) developed and demonstrated a latent-heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) system using MgCl₂ (T_m.p. ~ 714°C) phase change material (PCM) and graphite foam at the laboratory prototype-scale level. The current project focused on issues related to the fabrication and thermal performance feasibility of the LHTES module compatible with the supercritical CO₂ (s-CO₂) power cycle for concentrated solar power (CSP) applications
