Thermal energy storage deals with the storage of energy by cooling, heating, melting, solidifying a material; the thermal energy becomes available when the process is reversed [5]. Thermal energy storage using phase change materials have been a main topic in research since 2000, but although the data is quantitatively enormous.

We provide the cattle with year-round dry conditions, which promotes biosecurity, cleanliness, foot health, and feed efficiency. Research shows confinement cattle in deep-pit slat barns will have improved feed conversion by about 10 percent. Not only do Hanson''s slat barns improve feed conversion, they also increase average daily gains (ADG).

Thermal energy storage (TES) is the storage of thermal energy for later reuse. Employing widely different technologies, it allows surplus thermal energy to be stored for hours, days, or months. Scale both of storage and use vary from small to large – from individual processes to district, town, or region. Usage examples are the balancing of energy demand between daytime and nighttim

The results suggest that the seasonal thermal energy storage of rock-pit is able to assist thermal management in underground mine and to reduce energy consumption for winter heating and summer cooling.
