"ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM FOR HEATING AND COOLING APPLICATION USING PARAFFIN WAX"

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

Energy storage system is a method made to store high grade or low grade energy of a system, which can be used in nearby future. Energy storage come to be a key element in reaching goals in energy sustainability that lead to energy and price savings. A scheme that stores energy is occasionally called an accumulator. This Accumulator can be used to store leftover heat energy, of waste water of a system, by a process called Waste Water Energy Recovery (WWER). Waste heat is the vacant heat (secondary/low-grade heat) of a system, which is given to the surrounding (in the form of thermal energy) by a heat engine in a thermodynamic process. This heat can be beneficial in the majority of heating applications; however, trouble is faced for storage and transportation of waste heat. Power stations, Industries, and electronics marketplace are the major birthplaces of waste heat. The Heat Accumulator or Thermal energy storage (TES) system to be used is a Double tube Heat Exchanger with Phase Change Material (paraffin wax) as one of its essential components. Paraffin wax is a ‘latent’ heat storage material which works on its solid-liquid phase cycle.
