  • using concrete and other Solid Storage media in thermal energy Storage tes systems
    Advances in Thermal Energy Storage Systems#R##N#Methods and Applications, 2015
    Co-Authors: Doerte Laing, Stefan Zunft
    Abstract:

    Storing sensible heat in Solids allows the highest Storage temperature levels and avoids the problem of high vapour pressure of liquid media. A wide choice of materials is usable and can deliver economically attractive solutions. Commercially available today are regenerator-type Storages, where a gaseous heat transfer fluid, such as flue gas or air, is in direct contact with a Solid Storage Medium and exchanges heat as it flows along a flow path through the Storage Medium. Different advanced concepts, like concrete Storage, advanced solutions for regenerators and Solid media Storage based on particulate materials are described, including possible fields of application.

  • development of the cellflux Storage concept for sensible heat
    Journal of Solar Energy Engineering-transactions of The Asme, 2014
    Co-Authors: Wolfdieter Steinmann, Doerte Laing, Christian Odenthal
    Abstract:

    Two tank Storage systems using molten salt represent today's state of the art in energy Storage for concentrating solar power (CSP) plants. This concept shows a limited potential for further cost reductions, since the capital costs are dominated by the expenses for the salt inventory. The application of Solid Storage materials represents a promising approach to reduce capital costs. While this approach avoids also the risk of freezing and lessens corrosion problems, the efficiency of the heat transfer between the heat transfer fluid (HTF) and the Solid Storage Medium is crucial. This paper introduces the CellFlux concept, which uses an intermediate closed air loop to transfer energy between the HTF and the Solid Storage material. A modular concept is chosen to optimize the size of the air flow channels. An initial project will provide the fundamentals needed to design a CellFlux Storage unit. The feasibility will be proven by a 100 kW/500 kWh pilot Storage module.

  • effect of Solid Medium during cooled Storage on stallion sperm parameters
    Cryo letters, 2015
    Co-Authors: F C C Santos, Carine Dahl Corcini, V G G Costa, S M M Gheller, Carlos Eduardo Wayne Nogueira, Da Rosa Curcio B, A S Varel
    Abstract:

    BACKGROUND Solid Storage Medium prevents cellular sedimentation, reduces metabolic demand via limiting movement, and avoids the modification of an extender composition in the sedimentary microenvironment. It has been proven to prolong spermatozoa viability in mammalians. OBJECTIVE This experiment aims to evaluate the effect of cool Storage in Solid phase extender on stallion sperms. MATERIALS AND METHODS Semen was collected from 10 Crioulo stallions (n=30) and submitted to treatments: control group (semen extender) and groups with gelatin addition in different concentrations (semen extender + 1%, 2% and 3%). Seminal analyses included motility, mitochondrial functionality, plasma membrane integrity, DNA and acrosome at 0; 24; 48 and 72 hours during cooled Storage at 5 degree C. RESULTS Motility, mitochondrial functionality, plasma membrane and acrosome integrity declined during Storage time, with no statistical difference between treatments. DNA integrity did not significantly change during Storage period. CONCLUSION Solid Medium was not harmful and did not improved stallion sperm parameters during cooled Storage.
