Seven Operation Modes and Simulation Models of Solar Heating System with PCM Storage Tank

A physical model and dynamic simulation models of a solar phase-change heat storage heating system with a plate solar collector, phase-change material (PCM) storage tank, plate heat exchanger, and auxiliary heat sources were established. A control strategy and numerical models for each of seven diff...
