Summary

The technology for the nighttime cooling of buildings has been significantly improved with the development of a working prototype of a latent heat storage system. The system, introduced in a previous paper, incorporates heat pipes embedded in a phase change material. An improved unit design is presented, and the design, construction and testing of the prototype is reported, including measurements of heat transfer rates.
