Thermal Characteristics of PCMs - TH29 in Building Energy Storage

Abstract:

Phase change materials (PCMs) using in the building energy storage field can satisfy people’s requirement of thermal comfort and attain function of energy saving and adjustment. This article experimental studies thermal Characteristics of a hydrated salt PCMs (TH29) ,which involves phase change process and was used in building energy storage, tests the different solid/liquid ratio of the phase change material, the whole time of phase change, and the delayed effect at different locations in phase change process, phase-changing cycles and thermal stability and TH29 temperature variety at heating and cooling modes and the delay phenomena on different location. The experimental results show that a good thermal stability of TH29 after long term phase-changing cycles can be attained under this test condition.
