A New Methodological Approach for the Evaluation of Scaling Up a Latent Storage Module for Integration in Heat Pumps

A clear gap was identified in the literature regarding the in-depth evaluation of scaling up thermal energy storage components. To cover such a gap, a new methodological approach was developed and applied to a novel latent thermal energy storage module. The purpose of this paper is to identify some...
