EXECUTION AND ANALYSIS OF THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM USING PCM

Thermal energy storage systems are at present experiencing unrest, vowing to their powerful contribution in current innovation, and their broad applications, for example, space warming, water warming, squander heat utilization, cooling and air conditioning. Sun controlled warm imperativeness storing contraptions need heavier research thought in light of sporadic and whimsical nature of daylight based essentialness which is exceptionally capable, preservationist and strong imperativeness resource. Among the different sorts of potential outcomes to store vitality frameworks utilizing distinctive materials, phase Change Materials (PCM) can be favored for their consistency in dormant warmth stockpiling. The utilization of PCM is a viable method for invisibility heat energy and has the upsides of having elevated stock pile depth and is isothermal in nature of the ability procedure. In the present test work, thermal energy storage system (TESS) is structured, manufactured and commissioned to gather warm execution information on the thermal energy storage tank. This TES tank is having spherical capsules, inserted with phase change material as stearic acid. The heat transfer fluid (HTF) is utilized as water. The present work means to research the charging (dissolving of PCM) and discharging (hardening of PCM) characteristics of phase change material in TES tank.
