“…Haillot et al [65] further investigated the thermal behaviour of the system proposed in literature [64]. This system consisted of a SDHW vessel connected to flat plate collectors as shown in Fig.…”

“…The results indicated that topside injection is suitable for the charge process, whereas the injection at the bottom is recommended for the discharge process. Haillot et al [65] investigated a compact PCM heat exchanger composed of compressed expanded graphite and paraffin as a thermal energy storage unit for DHW. They also developed numerical and genetic algorithm optimization models to maximize the solar fraction and/ or minimize electrical energy consumption of the system.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
