“…Table shows the phase change temperature, latent heat, and thermal conductivity of some pure organic PCMs, including paraffin wax (PW), polyethylene glycol (PEG), capric acid (CA), lauric acid (LA), palmitic acid (PA), and stearic acid (SA). Among these PCMs, PW has been widely used in lithium-ion BTMS . That is because paraffin has the advantages as follows: (1) suitable phase change temperature, (2) large latent heat, (3) relatively high thermal conductivity, (4) low volume change ratio, (5) no phase separation, (6) low supercooling, (7) high chemical stability, (8) compatible with a carrier, (9) non-toxic, harmless, and non-corrosive, and (10) low cost.…”
