Abstract

A prototype of an industrial PCM heat storage has been built and tested. The module is designed for use in an industrial steam system. The module has a storage capacity of 4 kWh (14 MJ) and a power of about 8 kW, allowing for charge and discharge times of 30 min. As PCM, adipic acid has been used (melting temperature 150 ℃), that was mixed with expanded graphite to enhance the effective thermal conductivity. For conductivity improvement, 12% of graphite was found to be sufficient. The study concludes that the module can deliver the required thermal power and storage capacity and shows a stable performance.
