Calorimetric and theoretical determination of the concentration dependent enthalpy change around CaBr2·6H2O

Properties of Phase Change Materials (PCM) in the Lab Environment and under Application Conditions

“…It corresponds to the enthalpy difference between minimum and maximum operating temperature and thus, besides the latent heat in the temperature interval under consideration also contains sensible heat." [22] The storage capacity (SC) observed in experiments under application-oriented conditions depends on, amongst others, the sample purity and the cooling conditions. In the case of PCM mixtures, a possible deviation from the correct concentration also affects the storage capacity.…”
