Résumé

This paper presents the development of a computational model of latent thermal energy storage (LTES) in a shell and tube configuration with longitudinal fins. The model describes the physical process of transient heat transfer between the heat transfer fluid (HTF) and the phase change material (PCM) in LTES. For modeling the phase change of the PCM, the enthalpy formulation was used. Based on a one-dimensional computational model, a new Trnsys type was developed and written in Fortran. Validation of the LTES model was performed by comparing numerically and experimentally obtained data for the melting and solidification of paraffin RT 25 as the PCM and water as the HTF. Numerical investigations of the effect of HTF inlet temperature and HTF flow rate on heat transfer in LTES confirmed that significant improvement in heat transfer between the HTF and PCM could be achieved by increasing the HTF inlet temperature during charging or decreasing the HTF inlet temperature during discharging. Increasing the HTF flow rate did not significantly improve the heat transfer between the HTF and PCM, both during charging and discharging. The presented, experimentally validated LTES model could be used to analyze the feasibility of integrating LTES into various thermal systems and ultimately help define the specific benefits of implementing LTES systems.
