Abstract
AbstractA new so‐called mobilized thermal energy storage (M‐TES) system for the recovery of industrial waste heat for supplying heat for distributed users, for example, detached houses or other applications is presented. The M‐TESis a technology that uses the thermal energy storage materials, often phase‐change materials (PCMs), to store waste heat and then transport the stored energy to another location for releasing heat for distributed users. The advantages of this system will enable the efficient use of waste heat in an economically variable way to deliver heat without pipeline as normally done in a district heat network. Experimental tests of different storage materials and the dimension and structure of the storage tank and heat exchangers in the M‐TESare presented in this article. Feasibility study to identify the economic and energy benefits of the M‐TESof some industrial cases has also been performed. This article provides optimized materials and system design for distributed users.
