In-situ measurement was made to evaluate chiller performance and thermal storage density of an ice thermal storage system. The system belonged to a big hotel and the measurement was conducted during late October. Owing to very small cooling load, the data logging was possible for a single thermal storage cycle. However, operation history of the chiller showed a relatively good spectrum of data for performance evaluation. COP and thermal storage density were calculated. The COP at full load was about 4.07, which was lower than $4.8\~6.4$ of new chillers. The measured storage density was about $10.9RT-h/m^3\;(=152MJ/m^3)$, which also was lower than a criterion of normal performance $(above\;13.0RT-h/m^3\;or\;181MJ/m^3)$. The study result provides technical basis for quantitative ESCO business scenario.

The decrease in the summer peak electric load in our country is very important. The government has arranged and implemented a lot of support policies and statutes to decrease the peak electric load. And the ice thermal energy storage system is known as one of the alternatives. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the efficiency and thermal characteristics of the closed ice thermal energy storage system using screw capsules. The measured thermal energy storage density is about 18.4 USRT-h/m3 (=232.9 MJ/m3), which is higher than 13.0 USRT-h/m3 (=164.6 MJ/m3), a low criterion of normal performance. And The efficiency of the discharging process and the total energy utilization is 96.2% and 2028.4 kcal/kWh respectively.

이번 연구는 패킹 모듈로 채워진 축열조의 방열 성능을 수치해석 하였다. 해석에는 PCM의 상변화 현상을 계산하기 위해 엔탈피-공극률 방법을 이용하였다. 이 방법을 통해서 방열 시 축열조 상부로부터 열전달유체가 흐를 때 모듈에서의 녹는 현상을 계산하였다. 축열조 디자인에 모듈 배치, 모듈 수 등의 다양한 인자가 있지만, 본 해석에서는 유량의 변화에 따라 나타나는 축열조 출구온도, 전체 PCM의 시간에 따른 녹은 양 및 축열밀도를 확인하였다. 결과적으로 유량이 증가할수록 출구온도가 높게 형성되었으며, 전체 PCM이 녹는데 필요한 시간이 짧아지고 축열 밀도 역시 증가하여 목표치의 93% 수준에 도달하는 것으로 나타났다.

Metal hydride alloys are a promising type of material in hydrogen storage applications, allowing for low-pressure, high-density storage. However, while many studies are being performed on enhancing the hydrogen storage properties of such alloys, there has been little research on large-scale storage vessels which make use of the alloys. In particular, large-scale, high-density storage devices must make allowances for the inevitable generation or absorption of heat during use, which may negatively impact functioning properties of the alloys. In this study, we develop a numerical model of the discharge properties of a high-density MH hydrogen storage device. Discharge behavior for a pilot system is observed in terms of temperature and hydrogen flow rates. These results are then used to build a numerical model and verify its calculated predictions. The proposed model may be applied to scaled-up applications of the device, as well as for analyses to enhance future device designs.

우리나라에서 여름철 피크전력부하의 감소는 매우 중요하다. 정부는 피크전력부하를 저감하기 위하여 많은 지원 정책과 법률을 제정하여 시행하고 있다. 그리고 빙축열시스템은 이런 대안 중의 하나로서 알려지고 있다. 이 논문의 목적은 축열운전, 병렬운전과 축열조 단독운전이 수행된 밀폐식 빙축열시스템의 축열조 성능과 전체 효율을 평가하는 것이다. 설계조건에서 운전된 빙축열시스템의 자료를 이용하여 축열조의 축열밀도와 방냉효율 그리고 시스템의 총괄에너지 이용효율을 계산하면 $18.4\;USRT-h/m^3$, 96.2% 그리고 2028.7 kcal/kWh이다. 빙축열시스템의 축열조에 공급되는 에너지를 설계조건보다 많게 공급하면 과냉각효과에 의해 설계조건보다 시스템 효율이 낮게 평가되어진다.

Several paraffins(CnH2n +2) can be used as the thermal energy storage medium because of their large amount of latent heat and their flexibility of phase change temperature. But they have not been used in the thermal energy storage system because their long term stability have not been verified. Paraffins(CnH2n+2) which the values of n are 23, 24, 26 and 28 were selected for this experimental research. And this research was peformed to apply them to the practical systems. The results were summarized as follows. (1) The increase of phase change cycles had no effect on their phase change temperatures. (2) According as the values of n increased from 23 to 28, the specific heats of paraffins(CnH2n+2) increased, and were in the range of 0.47 0.75 ㎉/$kg^circ C$. (3) Thermal conductivities of them were in the range of 0.14 0.17 W/$m^circ C$. and specific gravities of them were in the range of 765800 kg/m3. (4) The density of paraffins was in the range of 765 800 kg/$m^circ C$ , and the density of solid phase was larger than that of liquid phase. (5) When the number of phase change cycles was 1, 500 cycles, the latent heat of paraffins was 90% of the initial value.

A microcapsule water slurry is a latent heat-storage material having a low melting point. In this study, the thermal properties of a microcapsule water slurry are measured. The physical properties of the test microcapsule water slurry, i.e., thermal conductivity, specific heat, latent heat, and density, are measured, and the results are discussed for the temperature region of solid and liquid phases of the dispersion material (paraffin). It is clarified that Eucken's equation can be applied to the estimation of the thermal conductivity of the microcapsule water slurry. Useful correlation equations of the thermal properties of the microcapsule water slurry are proposed in terms of the temperature and concentration ratio of the microcapsule water slurry constituents.

In the present work, the numerical model was refined to predict the thermal analysis of energy storage in a fixed beds during charging mode. The governing energy equations of both fluid and the solid particles along with their initial and boundary conditions are derived using a two-phase, one dimensional model. The refined model is carried out by taking into account change of (air density , air specific heat) with air temperature and also by taking into considerations heat losses from bed to surrounding. Finite difference method was used to obtain solution of two governing energy equations of both fluid and solid particles through a computer program especially constructed for this purpose. The temperature field for the air and the solid are obtained, also energy stored inside the bed is computed. A comparison between refined model and non refined model is done. Finally using refined model the effect of bed material (Glass, Fine clay ,and aluminum ), and air flow rate per unit area Ga (0.3, 0.4, and 0.5 kg/$m^2$-s) on energy storage characteristics was studied.

The purpose of this study is to improve heat transfer by attaching rectangular fins to tube. Experiments were carried out under the following conditions - Aspect ratio$(W_f/R_f)$ is 0.7, 1.2 and 1.8. Temperature conversion between high and low positions of water in the thermal storage appeared because maximum density point of water is about $4^{\circ}C$ and inlet direction of working fluid influenced conductive heat transfer Compared with the unfinned tube(bare tube), the rectangular tube increased the ice thermal storage energy and the ice thermal storage energy was increased as aspect ratio was increased.
