Summary

One of the biggest consumer of energy is the HVAC industry, catering to the cooling demand of both residential and industrial consumer At a majority of sites over-sized units are installed to meet the peak load, which is not only economically disadvantageous but invariably leads to wastage of energy. Thermal storage systems (TSS) are a solution to such problems. TSS stores cold thermal energy in phase change materials (PCM), during off peak hours and utilizes it during peak load time. Pump-less TSS (PLTSS) has a unique pump-less operation. This article explains this unique operation and discusses the tests performed with PLTSS using different PCMs.
