Phase change energy storage technology is based on phase change energy storage materials as the basis of high technology, phase change materials Phase change latent heat is large, much larger than the apparent heat energy storage density.
The phase change heat storage devices of different structures are summarized and classified. The configuration theory is introduced, which has great significance to the improvement of the phase change heat storage technology. The imbalance of energy supply and demand and a series of environmental problems are associated with traditional energy.
In comparison with sensible heat storage devices, phase change thermal storage devices have advantages such as high heat storage density, low heat dissipation loss, and good cyclic performance, which have great potential for solving the problem of temporal and spatial imbalances in the transfer and utilization of heat energy.
Materials with phase changes effectively store energy. Solar energy is used for air-conditioning and cooking, among other things. Latent energy storage is dependent on the storage medium’s phase transition. Acetate of metal or nonmetal, melting point 150–500°C, is used as a storage medium.
Fragnito et al. explored the performance of heat exchangers with biological phase-change materials in chilled thermal energy systems through research experiments and numerical modelling, revealing that the design limits the thermal storage potential of the phase-change materials.
However, there are also issues such as the small thermal conductivity of phase change materials (PCMs) and poor efficiency in heat storage and release, and in recent years, enhanced heat transfer in phase change thermal storage devices has become one of the research hotspots for optimizing thermal storage devices.
