High Temperature Phase Change Materials for Thermal Energy Storage Applications: Preprint
To store thermal energy, sensible and latent heat storage materials are widely used. Latent heat thermal energy storage (TES) systems using phase change materials (PCM) are useful because of their ability to charge and discharge a large amount of heat from a small mass at constant temperature during a phase transformation. Because high-melting-point PCMs have large energy densities, their use c...
متن کاملReview on thermal energy storage with phase change materials ( PCMs ) in building applications
Thermal energy storage with phase change materials (PCMs) offers a high thermal storage density with a moderate temperature variation, and has attracted growing attention due to its important role in achieving energy conservation in buildings with thermal comfort. Various methods have been investigated by previous researchers to incorporate PCMs into the building structures, and it has been fou...
متن کاملReview on thermal energy storage with phase change materials and applications
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. PCMs have been widely used in latent heat thermalstorage systems for heat pumps, solar engineering, and spacecraft thermal control applications. The uses of PCMs for heati...
متن کاملMicroencapsulation of Butyl Stearate as Phase Change Material by Melamine Formaldehyde Shell for Thermal Energy Storage
Butyl stearate as a phase change material was microencapsulated within melamine-formaldehyde resin using emulsion polymerization. Morphology and thermal specification of produced microcapsules were studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, FT-IR, scanning electron microscopy, SEM, and Differential scanning calorimetry analysis, DSC. FT-IR spectra validated the existence of the butyl s...
متن کاملMicroencapsulation of Phase Change Materials for Thermal Energy Storage in Building Application
This paper presents an investigation on microencapsulation of paraffin as a phase change materials (PCMs) for application in buildings. Encapsulated PCM particles were prepared by suspension-like polymerization technique. The effect of surfactant concentration and mass ratio of PCM to monomer on the final characteristics and performance of the microcapsules were investigated. The distribution o...
