Numerical Design and Laboratory Testing of Encapsulated PCM Panels for PCM-Air Heat Exchangers

Heat transfer between encapsulated PCM panels and air plays an important role in PCM-Air heat exchangers. A new design for the encapsulation panel was developed considering practical aspects such as the cost of production and ease of manufacturing, in addition to heat transfer and pressure drop. A n...
