Appreciable Change

Mathematical model of the storage tank for air-conditioning condition was established, the dynamics character of a new type of PCM in the storage tank was studied., and the model was numerical simulated by the method of heat capacity. Effects of flow rate and inlet temperature of heat transfer fluid (HTF) on charging process of the storage tank were obtained. The results show that no appreciable change in the total cold thermal energy storage is observed for the increase of flow rate, whereas the improvement of the total cold thermal energy storage due to the decrease of inlet temperature is detectable, when cold storage is finished during low peak of electricity, the best inlet temperature of storage tank is at 2°C-3°C.
