Delaware Schematic control diagrams

Load leveling versus load shifting applied to air conditioning using phase change thermal storage materials

Description/Abstract Storage assisted air conditioning systems have been designed to reduce peak power requirements. Schematic control diagrams for load shifting and load leveling systems are presented. The thermal energy storage system is the University of Delaware developed Glauber's salt formula with transition temperature of 55/sup 0/F and capacity of 50 Btu/lb with package life estimated at 15 years. Two demonstration residential homes are described and preliminary data presented. Authors: Lang, M.
