The ultimate heat storage system is an alternative way of improving the heat exchange in the home refrigerator. This research is a systematic analysis of the studies that are being performed with its advantages and limitations. Comments of the researcher on potential improvements in the current work to enhance efficiency are also checked. Key parameters influencing system performance and key issues related to effective system integration are discussed here. PCM integration with the standard setup is restricted by the use of low-temperature PCMs, which is why PCM analysis with Nano-particle additives can be performed. Most experiments are limited to a hot wall form only, the investigation of a PCM application for another form of the condenser is subject to further work. Besides, a combination of two thermal enhancement methods, such as LSHX and PCM, can be used to test the performance.
