Abstract

This experimental investigation deals with the performance evaluation of the of a phase change material (PCMs) using Copper tubes and using this energy to heat water and store it for domestic purposes. The storing unit stores the heat in PCMs effectively due to Copper tubes. The water in the storing unit gets heat from the heater and transfers it in less time due to Copper tube to the PCM. The PCM undergoes change of phase by receiving latent heat, surplus heat being stored as sensible heat. The comparison is made between arrangements of a tank which can be used as normal domestic tank and the same can be used as PCM tank with copper tubes. The results based on the Temperature, Time, Heat stored is elaborated
