Abstract

Latent heat thermal energy storage system is more promising due to its elevated thermal storage capacity than that of sensible heating and provides the heat at constant temperature difference. Heat flux, heat storage density, thermal reliability, economic feasibility, thermal conductivity and stability are the important parameter for the performance of thermal energy storage system. Poor thermal conductivity, supercooling and corrosive behavior are the major challenges of organic phase change material like paraffin. Similarly, inorganic material like salt hydrate shows the problem of supercooling and incongruent melting. In this paper, a detailed review is reported on thermal conductivity enhancement by fins, impregnation of conductive porous material, dispersion of nanoparticle, addition of conductive material and encapsulation. The properties of energy storage materials (thermal) are also explored and examined.
