Load peak shifting using phase change materials in open display cabinets: an experimental investigation.

Number: pap. n. 690

Summary

Display cabinets are widely used in supermarkets and represent an important part of their energy consumption. The present study is focused on the performance of the display cabinet with integrated phase change material (PCM). To enhance the heat transfer and facilitate the PCM melting and freezing, PCM is placed into a heat exchanger. The experimental results show an important potential of PCM to preserve the temperature during a compressor stop. In addition, adding PCM to the refrigerated display cabinet is considered as an interesting lever for electricity. PCM heat exchanger integration inside the rear duct may also affect the airflow.
