The final configuration design is specifically adapted to the plant operational requirements, by means of a methodology combining the search of the best conceptual design and a proper selection of core PCMs. To that end, a selection of suitable PCM is carried out by using characterisation techniques and thermal stability testing. Furthermore, relevant key factors are weighted by an in-house Multiple-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) to define the most promising design options to be implemented in two plants belonging to the EII sector. For the ceramic sector, the design resulted in a shell-and-tube system with 1188 kg of a PCM melting at 885 °C and encapsulated in double concentric tubes, involving a storage capacity of 227 MJ. Similarly, 1606 kg of PCM, whose phase-change temperature is 509 °C, is selected for the steel sector providing a PCM-TES system capable to store 420 MJ. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/723803/EU/Novel integrated refurbishment solution as a key path towards creating eco-efficient and competitive furnaces/VULKANO This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No H2020 723803-VULKANO info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 7.991 2020 MATERIALS SCIENCE, MULTIDISCIPLINARY 58 / 333 = 0.174 2020 Q1 T1 1.842 2020 Materials Science (miscellaneous) 2020 Q1 Mechanics of Materials 2020 Q1 Mechanical Engineering 2020 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Ferreira, Víctor J.
