Guo et al. 8 revealed that the heat storage and release rate of the heat storage exchanger with an elliptical inner tube is higher than that of the circular inner tube model. Furthermore, the elliptical tube is suitable for heat storage heat exchangers. Yongqing et al. used fluent software to simulate the working condition of heat exchangers.
The results revealed that the heat transfer efficiency of heat exchangers can be improved by adding the inner ring rib structure to the heat exchange copper tube. The difference between the inner and outer diameters of the inner ring rib considerably influences heat dissipation. Furthermore, a sensitivity coefficient of 0.2457 can be obtained.
Heat energy storage systems offer the benefits of high energy storage efficiency and consistent temperature due to the use of phase change material (PCM); however, its disadvantage is that thermal energy storage takes longer to complete due to the material poor thermal conductivity.
Some energy production processes, such as renewable energy generation and waste heat recovery, face the issues of mismatch between demand and supply. Thermal energy storage (TES) provides a promising solution to bridge this mismatch by storing and releasing heat or cold at given conditions, thus upgrading the system efficiency [ 2, 3 ].
