2 INTRODUCTION There are some opportunities to store the gained thermal energy – it could be done in the form of sensible or latent heat. There are some opportunities to store the gained thermal energy – it could be done in the form of sensible or latent heat. Most promising technologies for the accumulation of heat is to use the phase change materials (PCMs). They are products that store and release thermal energy during the processes of melting and freezing, evaporation and condensing. PCMs release large amounts of energy upon freezing in the form of latent heat but absorb equal amounts of energy from the immediate environment upon melting. Most promising technologies for the accumulation of heat is to use the phase change materials (PCMs). They are products that store and release thermal energy during the processes of melting and freezing, evaporation and condensing. PCMs release large amounts of energy upon freezing in the form of latent heat but absorb equal amounts of energy from the immediate environment upon melting. There remain three major trends in the solar systems using PCMs: There remain three major trends in the solar systems using PCMs:  development and selection of appropriate materials;  development of latent heat accumulators suitable construction;  to develop source-storage-load control strategies.

Stoyanov TU Sofia, branch Plovdiv, Bulgaria COST Action MP1305 workshop "Applications, Dissemination and Outreach" 27-28 April 2015, Sofia, Bulgaria The concrete choice depends mainly on the following basic properties: - density, kg/m³; - melting point, °C; - specific heat capacity, J/kgK; - latent heat of fusion, kJ/kg; - thermal conductivity, W/mK; - volume change, %. A comprison between 3 types of PCM storages is done (Fig.2). CaCl 2.6H 2 O is used as a PCM. Performance comparison

5 Fig.3. Temperature change (paraffin Е53) A storage with paraffin as a phase change materials was constructed recently at the TU Sofia, branch Plovdiv. There was a choice between 8 types of paraffin. They have been studies at the same university. The tests have been done as follows – the same quantity of all the paraffin types was put in small plastic bottles. The paraffins are heated (the bottles are at that time in a thermostat). After reaching the melting point the samples are put in well insulated vessels with water. The temperature raise of the water is noted by means of temperature sensors. Fig.3 shows the temperature change of one of the mesured paraffins. Paraffin‘s investigation at the TU Sofia, branch Plovdiv Experimental study of latent heat storage with paraffin A. Georgiev, R.

14 The paraffin E46 was thermophysically investigated. Raman investigation of the material revealed structural resemblance of the E46 sample. Here are some data: - the latent heat is to be measured as 176,77 J/g; - the thermal conductivity is 0,33 W/mK; - melting point – 56,5 °C; - volume change 12,4 %.

15 It was decided to test the installation using a planning experiment. Three parameters were chosen as experiment factors: volumetric flow rate,m³/h; number of containers; power of the electrical heater, W. The experiment is conducted at three factor levels (lower, basic and upper): - volumetric flow rate - 0,675; 0,824; 0,973 m³/h; - number of containers – 13; 26; 39; - power of the electrical heater – 2400; 2800; 3200 W. They respond to the following basic conditions: - The measurement of the factors is of high enough precision; - The factors are essential; - All factors can be regulated directly during the experiment; - Every factor has quantitative value and can be controlled in its whole change interval; - The realization of all possible combinations of the factor values in their variation region limits is possible.
