Abstract

To tackle the challenge of waste heat recovery in the industrial sector, this research presents a novel design and optimization framework for Packed Bed Latent Heat Storage Systems (PBLHS). This features a Deep Learning (DL) model, integrated with metaheuristic algorithms. The DL model was developed to predict PBLHS performance, trained using data generated from a validated Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model. The model exhibited a high performance with an R2 value of 0.975 and a low Mean Absolute Percentage Error (<9.14%). To enhance the ML model's efficiency and optimized performance, various metaheuristic algorithms were explored. The Harmony Search algorithm emerged as the most effective through an early screening and underwent further refinement. The optimized algorithm demonstrated its capability by rapidly producing designs that showcased an improvement in total efficiency of up to 85% over available optimized experimental PBLHS designs. This research underscores the potential of ML-integrated approaches in laying the groundwork for generalized design frameworks for TES systems, offering efficient and effective solutions for waste heat recovery.
