Abstract

An energy converting system has been designed to study the heat transfer from one medium to another with the help of various fluids like castor oil and paraffin wax. Recovery and reuse of this energy through converting can be useful in conservation of energy. Heat exchanger is an energy converting device that captures energy using coil heat exchanger inside pcm bed. It can be used later by latent heat. This paper deals with the feasibility of PCM as storage medium in heat exchanger and also to study heat transfer properties of various fluids and latent heat storage of PCM.

Keywords

Paraffin wax, castor oil, water, latent heat, heat exchanger.
