Performance evaluation of combined passive/active thermal charge/discharge latent heat tank with stabilized-solid-liquid storage material for intermediate thermal storage system
This study proposes a new model operation for an intermediate thermal storage (ITS) tank for solar water heater system.It combines passive-charge active-discharge (PCAD) in a single storage tank, potentially reducing the number of components read more of the system and improving the net energy balance.The charge process is done by heating the stora
