PCM Augumented Composite Wall for Base Transceiver Station (BTS) for Telecom Towers

EasyChair Preprint 7664

Abstract

PCMs absorb a large amount of energy as latent heat at a constant phase transition temperature and are thus used for passive heat storage and temperature control applications. The present work employs a composite wall augmented with PCM for use in insulate room. Room having dimension 0.5*0.5*0.6 m3 employing PUF insulated walls with thickness 0.050 m has been made. One inner surface of the wall has been augmented using PCM, which works as a composite wall. HDPE bag is used as encapsulation material. Experiment is performed on specific days of April 2015 & May 2015 in shelter & solar radiation climatic condition. The experiment are conducted for 3 condition (1) Composite Wall without PCM (2) Composite wall with 3mm layer of PCM (0.9 Kg of PCM), (3) Composite wall with 5mm layer of PCM (1.8 Kg of PCM). In this study CaCl2.6H2O is used as PCM which has melting point is 30oC. First order implicit method is adopted to solve model of composite wall in FLUENT 15.0 Simulation results are vali-dated against experiment.
