Customer ServiceIn high temperature side, inorganic materials like nitrate salts are the most used thermal energy storage materials, while on the lower and medium side organic materials like commercial paraffin are most used. Improving thermal conductivity of thermal energy storage materials is a major focus area.
Expanded graphite (EG) is a good option, due to its high porosity and high thermal conductivity. For PCM like paraffin, melted liquid PCM gets into the pores of EG resulting in a composite. Carbon fibers are considered as a prospective material that might be used to enhance the heat conductivity in the heat storage systems .
Thermal energy storage materials 1, 2 in combination with a Carnot battery 3, 4, 5 could revolutionize the energy storage sector. However, a lack of stable, inexpensive and energy-dense thermal energy storage materials impedes the advancement of this technology.
Material properties should be stable even after extended thermal cycles of heating and cooling. Chemical stability: High chemical stability of storage materials increases life of energy storage plant. Volume change: For phase change materials, change in volume during phase change process should be minimal.
They estimated that resulting unit cost of energy stored is $4.50/kW h and $0.88/kW h for molten salt and concrete respectively. They concluded that significant reduction in thermal energy storage cost can be derived from the use of concrete as a storage medium. 3.2. Latent heat storage systems
