Some thermal storage media are familiar to most of us, but what about gravel? Or lake water? See how those can work in the right environments, and tuck this away as a general refresher on thermal ...

Developed by Italian dry bottom ash handling system provider Magaldi Power, the system produces green thermal energy — steam or hot air — which can be used directly in industrial plants or for the ...

Electric thermal oil solution leverages award-winning bGen™ efficiency and delivers low-carbon heat at price parity with fossil fuels Next-generation thermal storage system for industrial applications ...

In future, paraffin wax could help to make underground thermal storage units more durable. Such systems are used, for example, to store solar energy over a longer period of time. In a new study, ...

Commercial real estate owners and their tenants are under more pressure than ever to reduce their impact on the environment while keeping costs low. Real estate is responsible for 40% of global ...

UK researchers have designed a pumped thermal energy storage system for large-scale grid electricity, stored as high-grade thermal energy. It is based on a Brayton PTES concept demonstrated by ...

Last September, the Western U.S. was hit with a 10-day heat wave that broke temperature records across the region, including in California. Air conditioning surged and with it, a record demand in ...

A recent article in the Journal of Energy Storage investigated the impact of non-linear porosity distributions in copper foam on the thermal performance and melting behavior of palmitic acid, a phase ...

In the last year or so, heat pumps have gone from being little known outside of HVAC circles to becoming a key plank in the Inflation Reduction Act. Today’s heat pumps are vastly superior to those ...

A major challenge for energy storage batteries is thermal runaway, which can cause uncontrollable increases in temperature and pressure within a battery cell resulting in explosions or fires. To ...
