Experimental Research of PCMs - TH29 Using on Building Energy Storage

Abstract:

This article experimental studies the thermal Characteristics of a hydrated salt TH29 Phase change materials (PCMs),which involves phase change process and was used in building energy storage field, 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. It can satisfy people’s requirement of thermal comfort and attain function of energy saving and adjustment.
