Energy analysis of a novel Rotary Wheel Recuperator with embedded Phase Change Material

This paper numerically analyses the energy savings capacity of a novel Rotary Wheel Recuperator (RWR) system with Phase Change Material (PCM) embedded into the metallic structure of the system. As a novelty, several cases with different wall materials are analysed. PCM helps increase the storage cap...
