An example is due to show the order of magnitude of storable elastic energy in springs. Taking a spring steel that is loadable to σ = 800 MPa, with E = 207 GPa, then its specific potential energy will amount to 1.546 × 10 6 J/m 3. With a steel density of 7,850 kg/m 3 the specific energy will be about 200 J/kg.
Flux have higher amplitude in the case of the floor panel with PCM, which means that heat storage and release of the wall without PCM are less important compared to that containing of the PCM. At the end of the thermal cycles, each panel discharges its stored energy and a new state of temperature equilibrium is reached when heat flux Δ φ …
