MUMBAI, India, July 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202647085991 A) filed by Shell Internationale Research on July 14, 2026, for Method And System For Controlling Heat Transfer In Solid Heat Storage Systems.
Inventors include Van Der Ploeg, Govert Gerardus Pieter; and Ehrenreich, Stefan.
The application for the patent was published on July 17, 2026, under issue no. 29/2026.
Abstract: This invention provides a heat storage system and a method for controlling heat transfer from the heat storage system. The heat storage system comprises a solid heat storage module; a heat discharge channel, and a clearance separating the solid heat storage module and the heat discharge channel. The clearance is filled with a first fluid medium and a second fluid medium, the second fluid medium having a thermal conductivity at least fifty times greater than a thermal conductivity of the first fluid medium. To control heat transfer from the solid heat storage module, a desired heat flux from the solid heat storage module across the clearance to the heat discharge channel is determined; and a ratio of the volumes of the first fluid medium and the second fluid medium in the clearance is controlled in dependence on the desired heat flux.
