Commercial acceptance and the economics of solar thermal technologies are tied to the design and development of efficient, cost-effective thermal storage systems. Thermal storage units that utilize latent heat storage materials have received greater attention in the recent years because of their large heat storage capacity and their isothermal behavior during the charging and discharging processes. One major issue that needs to be addressed is that most phase-change materials (PCM) with high energy storage density have an unacceptably low thermal conductivity and hence heat transfer enhancement techniques are required for any latent heat thermal storage (LHTS) applications. In the present paper the various heat transfer enhancement methods for LHTS systems are discussed. Three different experiments to augment heat transfer were conducted and the findings are reported.
