Thermal Energy Transport System is noticed in point of effective utilization of waste heat from municipal solid waste incineration plants and biomass power plants has become very important to reduce CO_2 emissions. We need the method to transport waste heat to heating and cooling applications of other site. Kobelco Eco-Solutions Co., Ltd. and Kobe Steel Ltd. are developing latent thermal energy storage equipment for this transport system. The erythritol of phase change material (PCM) and direct contact heat transfer technology are being used for this equipment. Direct contact heat transfer technology is thermal energy storage method of contacting heat medium to PCM directly. The advantages are high performances of heat input and heat output, light weight equipment by no heat exchanger. So, in this paper, we have developed the high efficiency thermal storage cassette of four tons in total weight and achieved the target performance of maintaining fixed heat output at the temperature of 90℃ for 8 hours, and performing 90% or more of heat recovery by the fixation examination and the public road transportation.
