Phase change thermal storage: transient behaviour analysis of a solar receiver/storage module using the enthalpy method.

Author(s) : BELLECCI C., CONTI M.

Type of article: Article

Summary

The performance of a solar receiver unit with a built-in thermal storage system is simulated by the enthalpy method. It is shown that accurate results can be obtained with a simplified modelling of the forced convective heat extraction. The results indicate some criteria to determine the optimal size of the storage system.
