Exploration and investigation of energy harvesting from organic PCM- paraffin wax and coconut oil

The preservation of the environment through eco-friendly systems is crucial in various industries such as food, cosmetics, lifestyle, and storage. In recent times, there have been significant technological advancements in cooling systems that provide specific cooling for different applications while reducing electricity consumption. A critical consideration in these methodologies is the reduction of electricity usage. This study focuses on the use of an additional setup or system to maintain temperatures or provide cooling when electricity is not available. Specifically, it explores the usage of latent heat storages, including PCM, in various applications, their properties, types, and selection criteria. Additionally, it provides guidelines for calculating the necessary quantity of PCM for load and other cold storage applications.
