“…These materials are currently being investigated for use in residential and commercial buildings as a means of increasing energy efficiency (Nikolic et al, 2002;Sari, 2003;Sari and Kaygusuz, 2001;Sari et al, 2003;Suppes et al, 2003). For a phase change material to efficiently store and release heat, four requirements must be met (Nikolic et al, 2002;Sari, 2003;Sari and Kaygusuz, 2001;Sari et al, 2003;Suppes et al, 2003) First, the melting point of the material must be in an appropriate temperature range for the desired application (e.g. near room temperature for building materials).…”

“…There is substantial evidence to support the classification of the integument, and specifically the blubber layer, as a phase change material. First, many of the fatty acids found in blubber are classified as phase change materials and have melting points in the range of mammalian body temperatures (Sari, 2003;Sari and Kaygusuz, 2001;Sari et al, 2003;Suppes et al, 2003). Suppes et al (2003) classified palmitic (C16:0), steric (18:0), oleic (C18:1), linoleic (C18:2), linolenic (C18:3) and arachidic (C20:0) fatty acids as excellent phase change materials.…”

categories, while that of emaciated animals was significantly higher (0.24 ± 0.04·W·m·deg.-1 ) than all other categories. Blubber from sub-adults and pregnant females had the highest insulation values while fetuses and emaciated animals had the lowest. In nutritionally dependant life history categories, changes in blubber's thermal insulation were characterized by stable blubber quality (i.e. conductivity) and increased blubber quantity (i.e. thickness). In nutritionally independent animals, blubber quantity remained stable while blubber quality varied. A final, unexpected observation was that heat flux measurements at the deep blubber surface were significantly higher than that at the superficial surface, a pattern not observed in control materials. This apparent ability to absorb heat, coupled with blubber's fatty acid composition, suggest that dolphin integument may function as a phase change material.

“…Some organic eutectics that have been studied include capric acid/myristic acid (Karaipekli and Sari [57]), lauric acid/stearic acid, myristic acid/palmitic acid and palmitic acid/stearic acid (Sari et al [97]) and capric acid/lauric acid (Shilei et al [107]). The most common inorganic eutectics that have been investigated consist of different salt hydrates.…”

Phase change materials (PCM) have received considerable attention over the last decade for use in latent heat thermal storage (LHTS) systems. PCMs give the ability to store passive solar and other heat gains as latent heat within a specific temperature range, leading to a reduction of energy usage, an increase in thermal comfort by smoothing out temperature fluctuations throughout the day and a reduction and/or shift in peak loads. The interest around PCMs has been growing significantly over the last decade. Hence, several commercial products have arrived on the market with various areas of use in building applications. This study reviews commercial state-of-the-art products found on the market and show some of the potential areas of use for PCMs in building applications. Examples of how PCMs can be integrated into buildings, and furthermore building materials and projects using PCMs that have already been realised, have also been reviewed. There seems to be a scarcity of data published on actual performance in real life applications so far. However, many laboratory and full scale experiments have shown positive results on energy savings. Furthermore, future research opportunities have been explored and challenges with the technology as of today have been discussed.

“…10,11 Another attractive feature is that the melting temperatures can be adjusted to the match the requirement by selecting a right combination of eutectic binary mixtures of fatty acids. The eutectic mixtures of fatty acids as PCMs also retain their good thermal stabilities as a single fatty acid after repeated thermal cycling (Sari 2005;Sari et al 2004). …”
