Abstract |
Developing efficient and inexpensive energy storage devices is as important as developing new sources of energy. Energy storage can reduce the time between energy supply and energy demand, thereby playing a vital role in energy conservation. It improves the energy systems by smoothening the output and thus increasing the reliability. This project deals with storage of thermal energy in materials undergoing phase changes. A solar water heating system to be selected. Preferably a parabolic or flat plate collector selected when the complete parabolic or flat plate collector is fabricated. Thermal storage material like paraffin is circulated from a tank to collector and the paraffin taken back to the tank using a pump. In the circuit a metal coil of paraffin taken inside a water tank with sand and pebble bed storage. |
