[In Japanese. / En japonais.]

Author(s) : SAITOH T., HIROSE K.

Type of article: Article

Summary

THE OVERALL TRANSIENT THERMAL RESPONSE OF THIS THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE UNIT IS DESCRIBED. TWO TYPES OF MELTING EXPERIMENTS WERE CARRIED OUT AT A CONSTANT INLET TEMPERATURE AND AT A CONSTANT HEAT FLUX WHICH CORRESPONDS TO SOLAR ENERGY COLLECTION. THE EFFECTS OF THE FLOW RATE OF WORKING FLUID, THE INLET TEMPERATURE, ETC ON THE THERMAL PERFORMANCE WERE CLARIFIED. A UNIQUE DEVICE EMPLOYING A HEAT PUMP IS PRESENTED TO OVERCOME THE SUPERCOOLING PROBLEM WHICH HAS BEEN ONE OF THE MOST SERIOUS PROBLEMS IN PHASE CHANGE THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE.
