MAJOR ACHIEVEMENTS FROM QUARTERLY REPORT 12
WRUT
1) Advanced trials evaluating the performance of the hybrid zeolite and PCM based accumulator with hot steam humidifier: adsorption and desorption with spatial metallic structures (heat transfer enhancers) inserted within the accumulator. Adjusting the unit in a closed loop system with implementation of HPM. Proved beneficial value of developed spatial metallic structures in heat distribution enhancement inside of the cascade heat accumulator.
UPCT
1) A shell and tube accumulator with metallic foams was built, based on a 16 kg storage capacity and 9 tubes foe heat transfer fluid distribution
UAI
PUCMM
1) On the experimental facility, we continued with the data acquisition for some subsystems that are ready and started with to look for some bias that could happened due to material/construction defects.
2) Task T.2.3 (Validation of energy management strategies and comparative analysis of different system configurations) has continued with scenario simulation.
