Abstract:
This document compiles the detailed experimental data and description of four different heat charging tests presented in Nordbeck et al. ([1]), which aimed at the basic performance characterization of a lab-scale prototype of a new scalable, cement based, sensible heat storage system. The data set contains transient distributed measurements of temperatures within the storage as well as measurements of the experimental boundary conditions (heat carrier fluid flow rates, charging and laboratory temperatures) at high temporal resolution. In addition, the geometrical configuration of the storage and its component parts as well as the associated thermal material parameters are specified. The presented data is useful to assess and compare storage characteristics (storage capacities, charging/discharging rates, energy efficiency, heat loss behaviour) of the new heat storage system. The data can also be used as a reference data set for the development and verification of numerical models of modular solid-liquid heat storages or other related geothermal systems such as ground source heat pumps or energy piles using helical heat exchangers.

Mechanisms of Heat Transfer
Conduction, accounting for approximately 3% of body heat loss at rest, is the process of exchanging heat between molecules of two materials in direct contact. This can result in both heat loss and gain. For instance, when the body is submerged in water, which conducts heat 20 times more effectively than air, it can either lose or gain significant...
