Abstract This paper reports the performance investigation of a newly developed Latent Heat Thermal Battery (LHTB)
integrated with a solar collector as the main source of heat. The LHTB is a new solution in the field of thermal
storage and developed based on the battery concept in terms of recharge ability, portability and usability as a
standalone device. It is fabricated based on the thermal battery storage concept and consists of a plate-fin and tube
heat exchanger located inside the battery casing and paraffin wax which is used as a latent heat storage material.
