Abstract

The energy derived from the solar activity is a source that can help solve the high demand that humanity presents in terms of thermal energy, but shows disadvantages due to the changes in prolonged periods and to the variability in very short times. The fundamental thing to take advantage of the higher amount of thermal energy derived from the sun is to count on storage systems that accumulate that energy in the form of latent heat. For this purpose, materials that change from the solid phase to the liquid (Phase Change Materials (PCMs)) are used; this way of storing and reserving energy is beneficial because large amounts of material are available, working isothermally during storage and releasing the energy stored in its solidification process. One of the advantages of latent heat storage is that said energy storage and its consequent delivery are presented in a minimal temperature range, called inter-phase or transition zone. The PCMs have appropriate characteristics for the storage of energy. At present, a diverse range of these materials is known with which it has been experienced, obtaining promising results; The most widely used materials are salts and some organic and inorganic materials; It is important to emphasize that these materials are difficult to regenerate insofar as they are subjected to work cycles, noting the decrease in their storage efficiency and consequent dissociation, and on the contrary, paraffins (petroleum by-product) are economical materials with good behavior in storage and with acceptable energy storage ranges.
