Latent heat storage characteristics of heat storage vessel packed with surface cross-linked form-stabilized high-density polyethylene latent heat storage material by pool boiling and condensation phenomena

摘要

This paper deals with the experimental investigation of latent thermal energy storage character- istics of surface cross-linked form-stabilized high-density polyethylene pellets as a phase change material (PCM), using pool boiling and condensation of an ethylene glycol/water solution. The polyethylene pellets and heat transfer medium of ethylene glycol were mixed and poured into a cylindrical heat storage vessel.
