Preparation of RHA-Paraffin Phase Change Materials

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, a kind of RHA-paraffin phase change material was prepared, and the SEM was used for observing its internal morphologies, DSC analysis was carried out for detecting its temperature and enthalpy of phase transition. The results showed that rice husk ash have a greater absorption rate for paraffin; a large number of pores of the RHA were filled by paraffin in the RHA-paraffin phase change material, and the absorption rate can reach 53.5%.
