What are the characteristics of packed-bed thermal energy storage systems?

Table 10. Characteristics of some packed-bed thermal energy storage systems. The efficiency of a packed-bed TES system is governed by various parameters like the shape and size of storage materials, the porosity of the storage system and rate of heat transfer, etc.

What is underground thermal energy storage (Utes)?

Among these, aquifer TES, borehole TES and cavern TES are all classified as underground thermal energy storage (UTES) as they use the underground as a storage medium. The primary benefit of SHS is that charging and discharging of the storage material are completely reversible and have unlimited life cycles.

What storage media are used in cold thermal energy storage systems?

Table 11. Primary features of two common storage media used in cold thermal energy storage systems, namely, ice and chilled water . Table 12. Comparison of two commonly used storages in cold thermal energy storage systems: ice and chilled water . Fig. 15. Schematic diagram of ice-cool thermal energy storage system.

Can slurry ice be used for precooling and storage of aquatic products?

1. Slurry ice combined with chemical or biological preservatives for precooling or storage of aquatic products can better preserve the quality of aquatic products and prolong the shelf life of aquatic products. However, most chemical preservatives can not meet the health requirements of food, and there are few existing studies.

Can stochastic ice nucleation be used to preserve food and biological substrates?

In practice, novel techniques that control the stochastic nature of ice nucleation into a repeatable and manageable manner appear potentially beneficial for preserving foods and biological substrates such as cells, tissues, and organs during freezing processes (Morris and Acton, 2013; Petzold and Aguilera, 2009; Xanthakis et al., 2014a).

How does SEF affect ice embryo size in a supercooled liquid?

From a thermodynamic point of view, it is seen that the application of SEF allows modifying the free energy potentials and the size of critical ice embryo in a supercooled liquid.
