Performance Study of Direct Integration of Phase Change Material into an Innovative Evaporator of a Simple Vapour Compression System

This paper experimentally investigates the direct integration of 3.15 kg of phase change materials (PCM) into a standard vapour compression system of variable cooling capacity, through an innovative lab-scale refrigerant-PCM-water heat exchanger (RPW-HEX), replacing the conventional evaporator. Its...
