Abstract
The aim of the present research work is to reduce starting time of engine by utilizing the heat stored in thermal energy storage (TES) system by using different properties of phase change material (PCM) are studied by varying test conditions and based on the performance paraffin wax was selected as best suitable material for experimentation. This paper represents an experimental investigation of thermal energy storage system by light duty petrol engine. The storage system was initially design by considering size of the engine and amount of heat required, thus to reduce exhaust gases emission of engine at starting time and also improve engine performance. The experimental work concludes that reducing the start up time of engine by five minute and also improve warm up time nearly at 45% achieved with TES system.
