However, due to the need to have them encapsulated within a container this density is reduced. Furthermore, PCMs have a low thermal conductivity which reduces the useful amount of energy which can be stored. To consider these factors, the true energy storage density of a PCM system was proposed and optimised for PCMs encapsulated in slabs. Using a validated numerical model of the system, a parametric study was undertaken to investigate the impact of the slab thickness, gap between slabs and the mass flow rate. The study showed that, when optimised, a PCM system can deliver a true energy storage density between 53% and 83% of the latent energy density of the PCM. 2014-06-06T11:21:56Z 2014-06-06T11:21:56Z 2009-10 Article World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology, vol. 3(8), 2009, pages 708-712 2010-376X http://waset.org/Publications/optimisation-of-a-phase-change-thermal-storage-system/5073 http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/dspace/handle/123456789/35161 en World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology (WASET)
