An experimental study using paraffin wax as a phase change material (PCM) was performed to analyse thermal physiognomies on the latent heat storage system (LHS). The use of phase change materials through latent heat storage is an unusual approach to maintaining thermal energy. There is the advantage of considerably high energy storage and the uniform temperature of the storage process. Tube & shell type heat exchanger (HE) has been used in this experimentation. Water circulates in tubes and around the tube’s paraffin wax as phase change material is filled. The focus is on heating (charging) and cooling (discharging) of PCM (paraffin wax), which is the melting and solidifying of paraffin wax. The temperature distribution in paraffin is studied consistent with the various flow rates of the warmth transfer fluid.
