The Research Situation and Development Trend of Energy Saving Phase Change Materials

Abstract:

The energy saving principle of phase change materials is introduced briefly， the current status of the energy saving phase change materials and the newest progress are also discussed. The promising development trend of the energy saving phase change materials is prospected. With the effect of energy crisis, the difficult problem which we face is the energy consumption, energy saving and emission reduction is the first question that should be solved in all works of life. As the living standard improved, the human comfort require of indoor environment become more strict. Because of air conditioning making the power system load too large, energy saving technology has been paid a high degree of attention, and energy saving phase change materials ,as a new materials, has gradually become a focus in the study of energy utilization and material science.
