“…In recent years, with the aim to avoid leakage, researchers have developed various methods to encapsulate PCMs, such as direct adsorption, capsulation, and sol‐gel method . The direct adsorption method is commonly to use porous materials as carriers, such as expanded graphite, perlite, montmorillonite, bentonite, and diatomite . The molten PCM is adsorbed into holes of the porous carrier materials utilizing their larger specific surface area and the pressure difference between inside and outside the hole.…”

Summary Using palmitic acid (PA) as an organic phase change material (PCM), a series of PA/diatomite composite PCMs (CPCMs) composed of PA absorbed into diatomite mesopores with different mass contents were made through direct impregnation method. Nitrogen adsorption‐desorption curves indicated the porous structure of diatomite with the specific surface area and the mesopore peak at 40 m2/g and 3 to 5 nm, respectively. The form‐stability measurement indicated that the maximum mass loading capacity of PA was 55 wt%. The melting temperature and fusion enthalpy of the PA/diatomite CPCM (55 wt%) were calculated from DSC at 63°C and 88 J/g, respectively. The thermal cycle test implied that the PA/diatomite CPCM with 55‐wt% PA loading showed excellent thermal reliability after 1000 thermal cycles. Moreover, the composite has thermal conductivity at 0.5810 W/m·K and enhanced thermal storage/release rate. PA/diatomite CPCM (55 wt% PA) was a suitable candidate for modern building energy saving and industrial solar energy.

Summary At present, all types of large–medium‐sized supermarkets with aquatic products adopt ice preservation to ensure freshness. The traditional method of ice preservation needs to make a large amount of thick ice and thus wastes manpower and freshwater. A new ice preservation system with cold storage (IP&CS) is designed, and its performance is tested. The use of a cold storage tank to replace the thick ice laid achieves a repeated cold storage and discharge. This experiment uses NaCl solution as the cold storage phase change material (PCM). The phase change temperature of the cold storage PCM and the optimum temperature of the secondary refrigerant during the cold storage process are determined. Results show that the center temperature of aquatic products, water loss rate, color of aquatic products, power consumption, and electricity cost of the IP&CS system are better than those of the traditional ice preservation system.

“…Phase change materials (PCMs) are one effective TES choice, allowing compact storage with larger storage densities, eg, as compared to sensible TES. Numerous PCM‐based TES applications have been investigated over the years . Among these, many PCMs were analyzed to be incorporated in buildings for improving the indoor thermal comfort .…”

“…The overall energy efficiencies of today's industrial processes can also be achieved by means of integrating TES with PCMs, by means of waste heat recovery . Thermal management in batteries with PCMs is another emerging technology of TES. To accomplish truly sustainable TES solutions from PCMs, besides their energy‐related advantages, materials of renewable origin are of great interest as PCMs.…”

Thermal conductivity measurement of erythritol, xylitol, and their blends for phase change material design: A methodological study

et al. 2019

Summary This work presents and discusses a detailed thermal conductivity assessment of erythritol, xylitol, and their blends: 25 mol% erythritol and 80 mol% erythritol using the transient plane source (TPS) method with a Hot Disk Thermal Constants Analyzer TPS‐2500S. Thereby, the thermal conductivities of xylitol, 25 mol% erythritol, 80 mol% erythritol, and erythritol were here found for respectively in the solid state to be 0.373, 0.394, 0.535, and 0.589 W m−1 K−1 and in the liquid state to be 0.433, 0.402, 0.363, and 0.321 W m−1 K−1. These obtained results are comprehensively and critically analyzed as compared to available literature data on the same materials, in the phase change materials (PCMs) design context. This study clearly indicates that these thermal conductivity data in literature have considerable discrepancies between the literature sources and as compared to the data obtained in the present investigation. Primary reasons for these disparities are identified here as the lack of sufficiently transparent and repeatable data and procedure reporting, and relevant standards in this context. To exemplify the significance of such transparent and repeatable data reporting in thermal conductivity evaluations in the PCM design context, here focused on the TPS method, a comprehensive measurement validation is discussed along various residual plots obtained for varying input parameters (ie, the heating power and time). Clearly, the variations in the input parameters give rise to various thermal conductivity results, where choosing the most coherent result requires a sequence of efforts per material, because there are no universally valid conditions. Transparent and repeatable data and procedure reporting are the key to achieve comparable thermal conductivity results, which are essential for the correct design of thermal energy storage systems using PCMs.
