Preparation of Shape-Stabilized Phase Change Energy Storage Aggregate: A Case Study

Article Preview

Abstract:

The phase change energy storage aggregate was prepared with the eutectic mixture of capric acid (CA) and stearic acid (SA) as phase change energy storage material (PCM) and waste autoclaved aerated concrete as skeleton. The results showed that the appropriate mass ratio of CA to SA is 9:1, with melting temperature 26.8°Cand latent heat of 96.4 J/g. The optimal load of PCM on waste autoclaved aerated concrete was 55%. In order to reduce leakage and increase strength of the aggregate, slag-water glass-gypsum binder was used for encapsulation, which also helped increase the compatibility with the main building materials. The simulation test showed that the phase change energy storage aggregate possesses good temperature control and energy storage performance.
