Abstract

To integrate heat extraction and storage into a single unit along with decoupling of demand and supply, Phase Change Materials (PCMs) can be used to harness heat from grey water (GW). A simple heat exchanger linking both the GW and incoming mains cold water (CW) in a counter flow arrangement with a PCM is experimentally tested. To enhance the thermal conductivity of the PCM, metallic copper fins are placed throughout the cross-section of the pipes.
