Latent Heat or Phase Change Thermal Energy Storage

  • Chapter
Solar Thermal Energy Storage

Abstract

It has been explained in sections 1.6 and 1.6.2 how phase change materials (PCM) have considerably higher thermal energy storage densities compared to sensible heat storage materials and are able to absorb or release large quantities of energy (“latent heat”) at a constant temperature by undergoing a change of phase. The materials may also store some sensible heat due to small temperature changes that are inevitable. However, such energy storage is small compared to latent heat of phase transformation.
