Abstract
A heat storage system, and systems and methods for designing a heat exchanger system included in the heat storage system are disclosed. The heat exchanger system includes a heat exchanger including a plurality of planar fins parallelly arranged between a first header and a second header, and a plurality of tubes configured to be received in axially aligned holes of the plurality of fins, the plurality of tubes being configured to allow flow of a fluid exchanger fluid. The heat storage system also includes a storage tank comprising phase change material (PCM) for at least partially submerging the heat exchanger within the PCM. A spacing between the plurality of fins is optimized using a finite particle model of the heat exchanger to achieve a performance objective of at least 75% thermal heat discharge from the PCM in about 3 hours.
