Summary

Industrial freezing is an energy-intensive process which is growing due to the increasing demand. This is exerting stress on electrical grids, especially at peak hours. To tackle this issue, thermal energy storage has received attention; however, there is a gap in terms of suitable materials for thermal energy storage with temperatures below -40 °C commonly needed in these applications. In this paper, the solid-liquid phase change of carbon dioxide has been conceptually considered for thermal energy storage in a special type of heat exchangers known as pillow plate heat exchangers. Characteristically, these heat exchangers can withstand very high pressures which is a technical requirement for carbon dioxide thermal energy storage. This paper discusses the potential system layout and challenges ahead of this technology, along with the proposal for further investigation to verify the concept.
