Optimizing thermal performance of hollow cylindrical latent heat storage units

Insights into geometry-driven heat transfer enhancements

The thermal performance of cylindrical latent heat storage units (C-LHSUs) in hot water tanks can be improved by using a hollow geometry structure, which effectively reduces the average distance between the heated/cooled wall and the solid-liquid interface during the charging and ...
A novel vertical air-soil heat exchanger (VASHE) is proposed, coupling with diversified energy storage components, i.e., both annular and tubular phase change material (PCM) components. Compared to traditional air-soil heat exchanger systems, advantages of the new VASHE include t ...
Shallow subterranean ventilation of earth-to-air heat exchanger (EAHE) system can improve renewable utilisation, decrease CO 2 emission and promote carbon-neutral transition. However, the conventional EAHE system has drawbacks, e.g., large occupied land a ...
