| Abstract Scope |
The use of organic Phase change materials (PCMs) is often faced with leakage, reduction of heat transfer efficiency and consequently increases in production costs. To counter this drawback, an organic matrix like epoxy can be made to serve as capsule of the PCMs. However, this system is often challenged by poor rates of charge and discharge of energy because of low thermal conductivity. Hence, the need to develop an efficient thermal energy storage system using epoxy as capsule. This paper therefore reports the outcome of a literature review of publications under the following sub-themes: inorganic PCM-Epoxy systems; organic resin-PCM systems; Thermal analysis of the different systems. It was therefore concluded that a gap of knowledge exist in the area of using metallurgical dust (MD) to produce an efficient thermal energy storage system. Future research, should focus on developing an epoxy filled MD-PCM systems for enhanced thermal energy storage. |
