“…The influence on heat transfer coefficients of HTF flow rates has also been studied by Parth Patel. 49 In his study, the magnitude of the mean volumetric heat transfer coefficient is positively correlated with the HTF flow rate when in crystallization behavior. As an important parameter of HTF, the study of the effect of flow rate on the heat transfer coefficient helps to gain insight into the heat transfer phenomena in direct contact heat accumulators.…”

“…It was found that increasing the PCM height and increasing the ratio of the PCM to the HTF energy input can increase the heat storage rate of the thermal storage system, while the average heat storage rate during a latent heat period increases with the HTF flow rate. In the study of Parth Patel, 49 when in crystallization, the average temperature efficiency is negatively correlated with the flow rate of HTF is positively correlated with inlet temperature, while average heat transfer release rate is positively correlated with the flow rate of HTF.…”

“…Besides increasing the rate of heat transfer in heat exchange systems by the above means, some scholars have also adopted other methods to improve such problems. In terms of the heat accumulator structure, Parth Patel et al 49 arranged a serpentine channel in the container, water was used as PCM and HTF, and the cooling tubes that made the phase change of PCM were regularly arranged in the channel. According to the experiments, the baffles at the corners of the serpentine channel generate turbulence when high HTF volumetric flow rates are present, while higher inlet temperatures enhance this effect.…”

Phase change heat storage presents a promising solution to address challenges related to new energy intermittency and waste heat recovery. However, for it to function as an effective energy hub, heat storage becomes crucial. Among the available options, the direct contact heat accumulator stands out due to its simple structure, substantial heat transfer area, and minimal heat transfer resistance, making it a favorable choice for enhancing energy storage rates. Although a great deal of research has been done on phase change materials and heat accumulators over the years, a systematic review of direct‐contact heat accumulators is lacking. This article reviews the related research on direct contact heat storage, aiming to summarize the research work on direct contact phase change heat storage systems. Various phase change materials (PCMs) for direct contact systems are analyzed, and the study of PCM melting crystallization behavior, heat transfer coefficients and system performance in direct contact systems is summarized, as well as the improvement methods for direct contact vessels and PCMs. It provides a useful reference for future research on direct‐contact heat storage systems.
