  • SOLID-STATE THERMAL SWITCH PANEL FOR THERMAL STORAGE
    Publication number: 20240186091
    Abstract: Systems and method for operating an STS panel comprising: a filler with a thermally resistive/insulating material and a first open area (FOA); first and second layers of thermally conductive material (TCM) that are spaced apart, extend parallel, and sandwich the filler such that FOA extends from the first layer of TCM to the second layer of TCM; and a first thermal connector (FTC) disposed in FOA (a) so as to reside between and be spaced apart from the filler, and (b) so as to reside between and be in contact with the first and second layers of TCM. FTC is switchable between a first position in which a thermal bridge is created to allow heat transfer between the first and second layers of TCM and a second position in which the thermal bridge is broken and a thermal gap is created to prevent the heat transfer.
