A latent heat storage object (LHS) is a thermal energy storage object that stores thermal energy through phase transitions in phase-change materials (PCM).
A latent fluid-gaseous heat storage object is a latent heat storage object that stores thermal energy by converting liquid materials to their gaseous equivalent i.e. evaporating the material.
A latent solid-fluid heat storage object is a latent heat storage object that stores thermal energy by converting solid materials to their liquid equivalent i.e. melting the material.
