  • the pump of the heat transfer circuit modulates the flow rate of the medium containing PCM to set said medium to a predetermined temperature (preferably essentially the phase change temperature of the heat medium) at an exit of the first heat exchanger, so that the PCM material in the medium has its maximum cooling capacity (melting enthalpy of the PCM material).

  • the controller will increase pump speed so more medium containing PCM will be pumped to the indoor unit heat exchanger to increase the cooling capacity toward to its setpoint.
  • the indoor temperature is used as CV the measurement is taken at a constant interval and then compared with the setpoint. An error value is calculated and then fed into the controller. The controller then outputs a control signal to the actuator pump. For example, if the indoor temperature is higher than the setpoint, the controller will increase the pump speed so more medium containing the PCM will be fed into indoor unit to reduce the indoor room temperature.
  • the bypass valve in the heat transfer circuit tunes the flow rate of medium containing the PCM to ensure that the system will deliver the right cooling capacity to the indoor heat exchanger and maintains a desired indoor room temperature according to a setpoint.
  • the controller is using the bypass valve (e.g. a stepper motorized valve) to control the differential temperature of the medium containing the PCM which flows between the inlet and the outlet of the first heat exchanger.
  • ⁇ T PCS is measured by two temperature sensors at the inlet and outlet of the first heat exchanger and then compared with a setpoint so an error value will be calculated and fed to the controller.
  • the controller will output the control signal according to the value to the bypass valve. For example, if the measurement value is lower than the setpoint, the bypass valve will increase its openness so more flow will be pumped in the slurry circuit. Then, the differential temperature will reduce towards the setpoint.
