Design Optimization of a Hybrid Steam-PCM Thermal Energy Storage for Industrial Applications

The efficiency of industrial processes can be increased by balancing steam production and consumption with a Ruths steam storage system. The capacity of this storage type depends strongly on the volume; therefore, a hybrid storage concept was developed, which combines a Ruths steam storage with phas...
