413 Performance Analysis of a Water Heating System with a Storage Tank Using Phase Change Material : Fundamental Performance Analysis by Numerical Simulation

Storage-type water heating systems have been used widely in residential applications, and it is important to make the sizes of storage tanks smaller for space saving・ One of the ways to realize that is to incorporate phase change materials (PCMs) into the tanks and increase the density of stored heat by utilizing the latent heat of PCMs. In this paper, the performance of a water heating system with a storage tank using a PCM is analyzed by...
