Preliminary requirements for thermal storage subsystems in solar thermal applications

Description: Methodologies for the analysis of value and comparing thermal storage concepts are presented. Value is a measure of worth and is determined by the cost of conventional fuel systems. Value data for thermal storage in large solar thermal electric power applications are presented. Thermal storage concepts must be compared when all are performing the same mission. A method for doing that analysis, called the ranking index, is derived. Necessary data to use the methodology are included.

Computer modeling of thermal storage walls

Description: The modeling of the three-dimensional heat transfer characteristics of thermal storage walls and the effect of nonuniform irradiation is investigated. Depending on how much of the wall is irradiated, a small error in energy storage is introduced with the one-dimensional, uniform irradiation assumption. The results show that these assumptions, currently used in most passive design codes, are adequate to predict the thermal energy storage characteristics. However, the temperature distribution alo… more

Analysis of solar domestic hot water systems from a system perspective

Description: Six solar domestic hot water systems tested at the National Bureau of Standards have been analyzed. Results indicate that the thermosyphon system delivered the most solar energy to the load per dollar of initial investment (the air system delivered the least) and that direct systems performed better than indirect systems. Storage losses from the double tank systems were greater than expected, and this significantly reduced the relative performance of these systems. Further, the use of pumps, fa… more

Performance of storage walls with highly conductive covering plates and connecting fins

Description: The thermal behavior of a storage wall, constructed of concrete with highly conductive covering plates and connecting vertical fins, is investigated. The results demonstrate that, during the charging mode, the amount of energy released from the front surface is significantly reduced. A portion of the saved energy is stored for future discharge, but a large portion is transferred to the back surface and released. A selective front surface reduces the energy released from the front surface, and t… more
