Summary

The performance of a direct-contact latent-heat storage unit, consisting of two columns with different hydrated salts, was investigated. Sodium carbonate decahydrate and sodium thiosulphate pentahydrate were contained in separate columns. During heat charge, the hot kerosene as a heat transfer fluid was bubbled through the sodium thiosulfate solution first. The partially cooled kerosene was then pumped to the second column containing the sodium carbonate solution, discharging most of its heat content. Flow direction was reversed during heat discharge.
