Potential Use of Bio-Oleogel as Phase Change Material

Two bio-oleogels were investigated. These materials produced with a combination of canola and soybean oil 4, 6, 8, 10% beeswax (by weight). Sensible heat storage capacity, melting parameters, enthalpies investigated by the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) test. An ordinary DSC dynamic test was performed. Cycles heating cooling performed, as well tests different rates. According to results, present temperature between −16 −12 °C total latent 22.9 367.6 J/g. BC10 (canola beeswax) sample best performance, J/g −13.6 °C, demonstrating its possible use phase change material for cold storage.
