Popis:	In this article, we present some optimised geometries for a thermal storage system previously proposed exploiting Phase-changing materials (PCMs). The optimization has been carried out by using a genetic algorithm. We demonstrate that a simple single-parental, mutation-based, single-objective genetic algorithm can be conveniently employed to optimize the geometry of the proposed PCM thermal energy storage system. Optimization I was the one with the least restrictive conditions and, therefore, with the greatest possibility of variation in the channel geometry. While the one with the worst results is Optimization II because of the most restrictive conditions, primarily constant solid/liquid volume. A metal frame increases the surface area by 6.
