Evaluating a prototype compact thermal energy storage tank using paraffin-based phase change material for domestic hot water production

A full-scale thermal energy storage system using phase change materials (PCM) is experimentally investigated for solar and geothermal applications. The system consists of a rectangular tank filled with PCM and a staggered fin tube heat exchanger (HE). The system is designed for the production of Dom...
