TYPES OF THERMAL STORAGE SYSTEM
Thermal energy storage can be achieved in the form of sensible heat of a solid or liquid medium, latent heat of a phase change substance or by a chemical reaction. The choice of storage media depends on the amount of energy to be stored in unit volume or weight of the medium and the temperature range which is required for a given application.
EXPERIMENTAL SET -UP
The experimental setup consists of a six cylinders Ashok Leyland engine, heat recovery heat exchanger and thermal storage system. Fig shows a schematic diagram of the experimental setup.
ENGINE SET-UP
The engine used for this work is a four stroke, water cooled, six cylinder Diesel engines. The rating of the engine is 82 hp at 1500rpm. The engine is mounted on the bed with suitable connections for fuel and cooling water supply. The engine is coupled with a generator to vary the load on the engine.
