Thermal Energy Storage System Using Longitudinal Fins Arrangement (120˚ apart)
Journal Title: IOSR Journals (IOSR Journal of Electrical and Electronics Engineering) - Year 2018, Vol 13, Issue 5
Abstract
Solar power is a clean and sustainable energy as it is pollution free and environment friendly. This energy can be stored as thermal energy using latent heat storage system. The storage material used in our work is paraffin wax that stores the heat as latent heat. Phase change materials (PCMs) are preferred because latent heat storage is more efficient than sensible heat storage. This paper presents a key idea to minimize the energy shortcomings in Pakistan using renewable energy and thermal storage system. In order to increase the thermal conductivity several types of fin arrangement are being studied and it is found that cross fins arrangement gives the maximum output in terms of thermal conductivity. Keeping in view a new longitudinal (120˚ apart) fin arrangement is made and tested. Experimental results verify that our fin arrangement exhibits much better results than the cross fin arrangements.
