LATENT HEAT THERMAL STORAGE AND ITS APPLICATIONS
Latent heat storage refers to
The terms sensible heat and latent heat refer to energy transferred between a body and its surroundings, defined by the occurrence or non-occurrence of temperature change; they depend on the properties of the body. Sensible heat is sensed or felt in a process as a change in the body's temperature. Latent heat is energy transferred in a process without change of the body's temperature, for example, in a phase change (. Latent heat storage (LHS) is a method of thermal energy storage that utilizes phase change materials (PCMs) to store and release energy during the material’s phase transition, such as melting and freezing.

Disadvantages of latent heat storage
However, as the operating temperature changes, a series of complex technical issues arise, such as heat transfer issues, leaks, corrosion, subcooling, supercooling, etc.What is latent heat storage?Limitations of using phase change materia. [pdf][FAQS about Disadvantages of latent heat storage]

Muscat solar thermal storage device
Unlike generic solar solutions, Muscat’s products are built like camels—designed for extreme heat and long-term storage. We’re talking phase change materials (PCMs) that store heat like a thermos on steroids, perfect for when the sun clocks out at 6 PM but your guests still want hot showers. [pdf]
Air energy and thermal storage
Air storage vessels vary in the thermodynamic conditions of the storage and on the technology used: 1. Constant volume storage ( caverns, above-ground vessels, aquifers, automotive applications, etc.)2. Constant pressure storage (underwater pressure vessels, hybrid pumped hydro / compressed air storage) [pdf]
