Abstract

Thermal energy storage (TES) with phase change materials (PCMs) as one of the particular research topics has been paid attention by many researchers. Although the information about this topic is quantitatively enormous, there have not been more studies on its applications in automobiles in literature. There is a great variety of PCMs that can melt and solidify at a wide range of temperatures, making them attractive in a number of applications in automobiles. This paper reviews previous works on TES systems with solid-liquid phase change and provides an insight to recent efforts to develop new types of TES systems with PCMs for use in vehicles. The development of such devices is an extremely urgent need especially for regions with a cold climate. There are three profound aspects to be considered in this study: PCMs, suitable fields for thermal storage in vehicles and some major applications

(Gumus and Ugurlu, 2011) Conclusion A review of TES systems using solid-liquid phase change materials in vehicles has been carried out. All information used in this review was divided into three parts: PCMs, suitable fields for thermal storage in vehicles and some major applications. Materials used by researchers as potential PCMs are briefly described, together with their thermo physical properties. Suitable fields for thermal storage in vehicles have been given. Different methods of TES systems with PCMs in automobile applications are discussed. Many applications of PCMs can be found, divided in pre-heating of engines, pre-heating of catalytic converters, pre-heating of evaporator and pressure regulator of LPG, thermal comfort of passenger compartment, cooling of engines, and others. First three of those applications are detailed in this review. There are the wide range applications of PCMs, changing from heat and coolness storage in passenger compartment to thermal storage in engines, catalytic converters, and other sections of automobiles. Many more applications are yet to be discovered by researchers. Vasiliev, L.L., Burak, V.S., Kulakov, A.G., Mishkinis, D.A., and Bohan, P.V. (2000).
