Applications of Paraffin as Thermal Energy Storage (TES) in Different Areas

Sonali Mangal, Diksha Joshi

Abstract


Plants of renewable sources of energy are situating across many places as they are never ending resources. But their cost is very high, their efficiency is less. Their day time utility is present but it is hard to utilize solar energy in night. Hence solution to these problems coming is Thermal Energy Storage systems. PCM i.e. phase change materials are used as storage material in these TES system. Paraffin wax is commercially available and in use as PCM. This paper investigates and reviews on the paper presented previously on the applications of Paraffin wax in TES in different areas like water distillation, storage and how their efficiency can be increased. It is found that now-a-days paraffin wax is better than other because of its high thermal conductivity and using composite with paraffin makes it more productive. But at some areas Paraffin fails in front of hydrated PCM salts. Moreover overall system is reliable.
