A kilojoule is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). The symbol for kilojoule is kJ. The base unit for a kilojoule is joule and the prefix is kilo. The prefix kilo is derived from the Greek chilioi meaning thousand and is symbolized as k. Kilo denotes a factor of 1,000 which means that there are 1,000 joules in a kilojoule.
The use of a latent heat storage system using phase change materials (PCMs) is an effective way of storing thermal energy and has the advantages of high-energy storage density and the isothermal nature of the storage process.
