Thermal performance optimization methods for heat exchangers with accumulation in phase change materials

The article addresses the need to improve the performance of hot water systems in buildings by proposing a novel technique based upon the use of PCM. A heat exchanger using a PCM was developed and tested. By resorting to numerical models, different assembling processes were tested in order to combin...
