Abstract: This study investigates the impact of heat transfer fluids (HTFs) operational parameters on latent heat storage (LHS) systems, focusing on medium and high-temperature storage. A small-scale, visualized setup with a compact shell-and-tube heat exchanger, featuring helical fins, was constructed to enhance heat exchange. Dense thermocouples and flow meters recorded temperature and flow data of the phase-change material (solar salt) and HTF (heat transfer oil) during charging and discharging cycles, enabling detailed thermal analysis.
