Abstract

"With regards to storing thermal energy, latent heat storage are the matter of growing attention over the past years due to their straightforward design, affordable production and maintenance costs, as well as universal applicability. The phase-change materials (PCM) are well-known for their widespread use in aforementioned systems primarily because of their high thermal storage density. Many studies concerning analysing and optimising the design of latent heat storage systems (LHHS) have been carried out in the last years. In relatively recent researches, different research teams have investigated different types of LHHS, using mathematical models of different levels of complexity. The wide variety of different approaches to the mathematical modeling (including different methods, algorithms and applications from different field of pure and applied research) sometimes make it challenging to choose and implement a proper system of equations and criteria without excessive complicacies. This very paper describes and elaborates on the system of equations that can and will be applied to the mathematical modeling of charging/recharging process in PCM-based LHHS for commercial vehicles. After a brief review of previous models, author presents the model and asses its accuracy and possibilities for further development and exploration. "
