Thermal regulation of building-integrated photovoltaics using phase change materials (2004, methodology): “The thermal performance of solar-aided latent heat storage systems have been theoretically and experimentally studied by Esen [15] and Comakli et al.”
Latent Heat Storage Materials and Systems: A Review (2005, background): “Mehmet (2000) also evaluated the thermal performance of a cylindrical storage tank linked to a solar powered heat pump used for space heating with a heat pump.”
Experimental research on the use of micro-encapsulated Phase Change Materials to store solar energy in concrete floors and to save energy in Dutch houses (2011, methodology): “As a counterexample research of Esen and Ayhan (1996), Esen et al. (1998) and Esen (2000) reflects, instead of incorporating PCMs in building materials, on the use of PCMs in an advanced mechanical heating system, in which solar collectors provide thermal energy to a heat pump for space heating via…”
Solar energy storage using phase change materials (2007, methodology): “Finally, Esen [127] investigated experimentally and theoretically heat transfer processes in the cylindrical phase change storage tank coupled with a solar powered heat pump system.”
