Resumo

The transient response of a thermal storage unit to step changes in inlet fluid temperature and flow rate was experimentally determined. The unit consisted of five rectangular flow channels separated by the storage material. The experimental results obtained were compared with those predicted using both a simplified and a finite thermal conductivity model for the storage material. The finite conductivity model gave excellent agreement with the experimental results for all the cases investigated.
