Title Details

The book describes all thermal energy storage (TES) aspects including basic involved mechanisms, functionalities, conventional and advanced storage materials, envelops and heat transfer fluids, systems and their integration. All those issues are presented through practical examples of domestic and industrial applications of actual interest in order to highlight major limitations and needs in future innovations. The illustrative applications (three per basic mechanisms) have been selected in such a way to cover a wide range of temperature, capacity and power ranges.
