Prototype Latent Heat Storage System with Aluminum-Silicon as a Phase Change Material and a Stirling Engine for Electricity Generation

Journal Article Rea, Jonathan E. ; Oshman, Christopher J. ; Singh, Abhishek ; ... - Energy Conversion and Management

In this work, we present the design and experimental results of a prototype latent heat thermal energy storage system. This prototype used 100 kg of aluminum-silicon as a phase change material with embedded heat pipes for effective heat transfer, a valved thermosyphon to control heat flow out of the thermal storage system, and a Stirling engine to convert heat to electricity. We tested this system for 11 simulated days of operation; each day included charging of the thermal storage tank, simultaneous electricity generation with heat input, and electricity generation from stored heat alone. On each simulated day, we set themore »« less

Experimental demonstration of a dispatchable latent heat storage system with aluminum-silicon as a phase change material

Journal Article Rea, Jonathan E. ; Oshman, Christopher J. ; Singh, Abhishek ; ... - Applied Energy

In this work, we present the design, construction, and experimental results of a prototype latent heat thermal energy storage system. The prototype consists of a thermal storage tank with 100 kg of the aluminum-silicon eutectic as a phase change material, a valved thermosyphon that controls heat flow from the thermal storage tank to the power block, and thermoelectric generators for conversion of heat to electricity. We tested the prototype over four simulated days, where each day consisted of four phases of operation: charging, discharging, simultaneous charging and discharging, and storage. Our results show three major conclusions. First, the thermal energymore »« less

Experimental Analysis of Salt Hydrate Latent Heat Thermal Energy Storage System With Porous Aluminum Fabric and Salt Hydrate as Phase Change Material With Enhanced Stability and Supercooling

Journal Article Kumar, Navin ; Von Ness, Ryan ; Chavez, Reynaldo ; ... - Journal of Energy Resources Technology

Phase change materials (PCMs), especially salt hydrates possess high volumetric energy storage capacity in their transition temperature range. These materials are used in applications where it is necessary to store thermal energy due to temporary load shift between demand and availability. Thus, possible applications are HVAC, recovery of waste heat, and defense thermal management. Despite salt hydrates potential, the practical feasibility of latent heat storage with salt hydrates is limited due to low power rating, supercooling, phase segregation, and long-term stability. Its low power rating and long-term stability limits its application in most applications. This work experimentally validates the stabilitymore »« less

Energy storage using latent heat of phase change. I. Hydrates of disodium phosphate. II. Prototype storage reservoir. Final report, June 1, 1974--July 31, 1975

Technical Report Simpson, D R

Results of experiments and models for thermal energy storage using solution and precipitation of hydrates of disodium phosphate are presented. The research was restricted to solutions having a sodium phosphate ratio from 2:1 to 1.4:1 and the temperature range of 10 to 60/sup 0/C. Solution density and pH was determined as a function of composition and temperature, and the large range in values makes the measurements useful as a monitoring technique. Solubility isotherms were experimentally established in order to establish the solution with the highest yield of material undergoing a phase change. Data on a previously unreported hydrate is presented.more »« less
