Abstract

In this study, a latent cold storage unit using vertical cylindrical structure coupled with a concentric air duct is proposed. The cold discharging process of the unit is simulated by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) based on the enthalpy-porosity method. The temperature distribution and liquid fraction distribution of the latent cold storage unit are analyzed. In addition, thermal performance including the average temperature of phase change material, outlet air temperature, the liquid fraction and the cold discharging power are analyzed in detail.
