Author(s) : ARNOLD D.

Type of article: Article

Summary

THE SPACE REQUIRED, USING SENSIBLE THERMAL STORAGE, IS USUALLY TOO GREAT TO PROVIDE ANYTHING MORE THAN A BUFFER TO PREVENT CHILLERS STARTING TOO FREQUENTLY. TO OVERCOME THIS SPACE PROBLEM SYSTEM DESIGNERS ARE NOW RESORTING TO LATENT THERMAL STORAGE. COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE EQUIPMENT CAN BE DIVIDED INTO THAT BASED ON ICE AND THAT BASED ON THE USE OF ENCAPSULATED EUTECTIC MIXTURES. FOR THE AIR CONDITIONING DESIGNER THE SYSTEMS CAN BE FURTHER SUBDIVIDED INTO PRESSURIZED AND ATMOSPHERIC STORAGE. THE PAPER EXAMINES AND DISCUSSES THE BASIC PRINCIPLES RELEVANT TO SYSTEM DESIGN AND DESCRIBES THE RANGE OF ICE-BASED EQUIPMENT AVAILABLE. THE RANGE OF PHASE CHANGE MATERIALS AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT IS THEN DISCUSSED AND ANALYZED IN THE CONTEXT OF SUITABLE AIR CONDITIONING APPLICATIONS.
