At the Fraunhofer ICT energy campus in Pfinztal, individual thermal storage systems tailored to the respective application profile are developed and tested to increase energy efficiency. For example, in the STARK project the air conditioning of a building is implemented. Here, a 100m² collector array is used in combination with a zeolite and latent heat storage device. In energy-specific processes, the process data are recorded, evaluated and optimized with modeling and simulation tools.
We will demonstrate:
• Sorption and latent heat storage materials for active and passive thermal management
• A hybrid component, consisting of insulating and storage material, which combines the insulating properties of foams with the heat-storing and tempering properties of phase change materials (PCM)
• Lightweight air collectors in combination with zeolite and PCM storage devices, which enable the supply of heat and cold at any time
• Modeling and simulation of heat storage systems in their applications
• Presentation: STARK project – Solar Thermal System for Room Air Conditioning, Christian Teicht, B0 Forum
The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft is the leading organization for applied research in Europe. It is made up of 72 institutes and research units located throughout Germany. More than 25 000 employees generate the annual research budget of 2.3 billion euros. Of this sum, nearly 2 billion euros are generated through contract research. About 70 percent is obtained through industrial contracts and from publicly financed research projects. International cooperations with excellent research partners and innovative companies worldwide enable direct access to the most important current and future scientific and economic areas.
