Abstract:
A heat exchange system including a tank, a phase change material (PCM) held in the tank, an immiscible liquid layer held in the tank, a heat exchanger located within the immiscible liquid layer, and a distributor located above the heat exchanger. The immiscible liquid layer has a density lower than a density of the PCM and is located above the PCM. The distributor is configured to introduce a plurality of PCM droplets into the immiscible liquid layer and above the heat exchanger.
