Multi tubular sensible heat storage system fitted with wire coil inserts.

The literature concerning energy storage by sensible energy storage systems shows several distinct geometries and materials employed for different applications. The energy storage/release strongly depends on the penetration of heat in the entire volume of the bed which is affected by the fluid supply and flow characteristics in the storage system. Multiple cylindrical passages embedded in the concrete bed appear to be an effective design for achieving a faster thermal response. Based on this observation, the present study experimentally investigates the thermal characteristics of sensible energy storage having cylinder-shaped multiple passages for charging and discharging cycles.
