- The paper proposes, for the first time, the use of compact latent heat storage units mounted to the wall side of domestic radiators. This utilises wasted heat to charge an energy storage system that returns heat back to the room when the radiator is turned off, improving energy efficiency. The feasibility of this system was demonstrated in simulation and is being verified experimentally. The work is the result of a collaboration between the University of Nottingham (Donald Giddings); Brunel University (Sirous Yasseri); and Belmore Energy Ltd (Roohollah Babaei-Mahani, info@belmoreenergy.com). Belmore Energy Ltd is currently investigating commercial development of this idea.
