Abstract
The paper concentrates on the design of a sensible thermal energy storage system. In a process plant, steam is used to create vacuum in a pressure vessel. Thereafter, steam is exhausted to the environment in a carbon steel pipe. A thermal energy storage system is designed to partially absorb the wasted energy and to store the energy in a tank. Dowtherm, a popular heat transfer fluid is chosen as the energy storage medium. A bolt-on heat exchanger is used to transfer heat from the steam pipe. The heating mechanism, and thermal energy storage is modelled using MATLAB. The basic energy storage system is designed by employing engineering standards, alternatives, and constraints.
