Abstract

Thermal energy storage systems have gained importance in the designing of cooling system for micro-electronic and energy-efficient devices. An attempt has been made for designing cooling technique in the helmet namely PCM packet and its performance analysis was carried out numerically. The PCM packet consists of PCM filled pipes and passage for air. The device is intended to provide thermal comfort by reducing the outside air temperature to comfort temperature with the help of latent heat storage PCM material. Two PCM packet positions vertical, horizontal and PCM pipes are filled with paraffin (RT50) PCM. The results of both the systems are presented in terms of liquid fraction, local temperature distribution of PCM, and average air outlet temperature. It is predicted from the results that outside air temperature decreased with the PCM packet held in horizontal position.
