 Ice slurry as seen from the sampling of continuous ice making system. The mean size of ice particle is scores of microns. Members of TECC are recognized as leaders in the study of refrigeration, HVAC and renewable energy systems. 
 
We strive to be global leaders in engineering and science covering the full role of the energy. Our goal in research is to substantially advance and develop the thermal energy conversion system and to participate directly and actively in the evolution of energy economy. An essential part of our mission is to educate tomorrow's leaders in this field of academia, government, and industry. We also provide capstone design opportunities for undergraduate research.

1.Thermal Energy Storage

Thermal Ice Storage

Continuous Formation of Ice Slurry
In order to suppress ice adhesion on cooling wall, multi-component aqueous solution as a thermal storage material is developed. We obtained continuously ice slurry from multi-component solution by cooling with hydrophobic surface.
Transportation of Ice Slurry
Ice slurry, fluid like ice can transport directly cold energy to remote area. In here, ice fraction in flow, ice particle size is important factor to transport. In addition, the aggregation of ice slurry in pipe during stagnation can cause ice blockage or the increase of flow resistance.
 
Thermal Ice Storage System
We are challenging to thermal ice storage system using by ice slurry, which has no mechanical driving part for ice supply.

 

1.Thermal Energy Storage
 
Thermal Energy Storage
 
Phase Change Material(PCM) with Medium Melting Point
Medium temperature PCM is good thermal storage material for heating. Sometimes heating in constrained space requires to supply with low power. PCM has high storage density and thermal stability. However, the limited use of PCM urge a new type of PCM.
 
PCM Capsule design
PCM usually is enclosed to capsule. Therefore, the capsule experienced to thermal and mechanical hysteresis by PCM is needed to endurable structure. We think the material and geometry of the capsule.
 
Water Storage
What is the optimal structure for thermal stratification and mechanical stress?

5.Design of Renewable Energy Conversion Systems
 
Solar Heating
 
 
Solar water heating system types are classified as follows:
Active requires electric power to activate pumps and/or controls. 
Passive relies on buoyancy (natural convection) rather than electric power to circulate the water. Thermosyphon systems locate a storage tank above the solar collector, while integrated-collector-storage collectors place the storage inside the collector. 
Direct heats potable water directly in the collector. 
Indirect heats propylene glycol or other heat transfer fluid in the collector and transfers heat to potable water via a heat exchanger.

Fuel Cell
 
BOP in PEFC
 
Fuel Processor A unit that produces hydrogen, a fueling agent for fuel cells. This reaction is generated from fossil fuels. It is generally referred to as a reformer. 
Stack A generating unit that produces DC electric currents by directly converting hydrogen chemical energy into electric energy. It supplies electric power. 
MEA The part where electrochemical reaction directly occurs between fuel and air.
BOP (Balance of Plant) The unit that supplies the fuel needed for fuel cells and causes the system to operate properly.
