Researchers at Politecnico di Torino in Italy are testing how latent heat thermal storage (LHTS) could be used in combination with rooftop PV to achieve nearly zero-energy buildings (NZEB).

Specific latent heat is the amount of energy required to change the state of 1 kilogram (kg) of a material without changing its temperature. As there are two boundaries, solid/liquid and liquid ...

The heating curve of water. Note the flat lines on the curve where the latent heat must be overcome to change phase. Unlike batteries or capacitors, phase change materials don’t store energy as ...

The relationship used to determine the heat energy required to change the state of a substance is: \(E_{h} = ml\) \(E_{h}\) is the energy required to change the state ( \(J\)) \(l\) is the ...

Chiyuan Chemical's BDO unit formaldehyde circulation tower gas-phase heat recovery and utilization project successfully commenced operation, marking the world's first successful application of boosted ...
