Trijo Tharayil

Dear Mukul Ray

I have seen a few articles on PCM-Heat pipe. A few researchers have applied PCM at evaporator. What will be the possible applications of that set up?

Adel A. Eidan

Dear Trijo Tharayil

See this article, "Evacuated tube solar collectors integrated with phase change materials" https://doi.org/10.1016/j.solener.2015.12.040.

Good luck

Mr. Adel A. Eidan

Thanks for the paper. Solar water heating is one the application for my question because PCM can store heat which can be used at night to get hot water. Any other applications???
