Abstract
Amassing of cold energy is a foremost area in the field of thermal energy storage. The storing of cold thermal energy in a phase shift material is an art of solidification. The following experimentation depends on the domain of packed bed storage in which the 74mm spherical nodules of HDPE material whose fill volumes is around 90% is been solidified in a packed bed. The solidification curves and the HTF temperature profile concerning various set conditions have been analysed. The results revealed that layer 1 takes a minimum time to attain a lower temperature when compared with other reference layers. The results reveal that when the HTF temperature is brought from -6 to -9°C this trend is also maintained in the HTF temperature profile and found to be rapidly decreasing. Hence it is concluded that the inlet temperature of HTF plays a significant role during the process of solidification.
