Abstract

Since phase change energy storage exchanger has two functions of heat exchange and heat energy storage, it is an important component of heat energy storage technique with phase change materials, its research has been thought highly by people, and great achievements have been obtained during the recent years. A review on its various structures and their research and development was made in this paper, and its further research and applications were also analyzed and forecasted.
