ShareDevelopment of a 60 K thermal storage unit.

Summary
The paper summarizes the findings of a Phillips Laboratory-sponsored SBIR program to develop thermal storage units technology at an operational temperature of 60 K. During phase 1 of this program, nitrogen trifluoride was identified as a promising phase change material, despite a small degree of single-phase supercooling. So far in phase 2, an improved design methodology was developed which divides the thermal storage units into two volumes: a heat exchanger volume and a storage volume. This approach increases thermal storage units energy storage capacity and thermal stability while reducing both weight and volume.
