“…This type of PCM was developed for building applications, a shape-stabilized solid-liquid PCM composed of paraffin encapsulated by high density polyethylene (HDPE). This type of PCM has been successfully integrated into building fabrics and showed good performance on both promoting the thermal storage of the fabric and increasing its thermal insulation [25,32,33]. Table 3 lists some main thermal properties of the BJUT PCM and Table 4 provides its enthalpy at various temperature conditions, as reported by Chen et al [34], with major phase changing temperatures ranging between 23.1˝C and 24.0˝C.…”

Abstract:The UK is currently suffering great overheating issues in summer, especially in residential buildings where no air-conditioning has been installed. This overheating will seriously affect people's comfort and even health, especially for elderly people. Phase change materials (PCMs) have been considered as a useful passive method, which absorb excessive heat when the room is hot and release the stored heat when the room is cool. This research has adopted a simulation method in DesignBuilder to evaluate the effectiveness of using PCMs to reduce the overheating issues in UK residential applications and has analyzed potential factors that will influence the effectiveness of overheating. The factors include environment-related (location of the building, global warming/climate change) and construction-related (location of the PCM, insulation, heavyweight/lightweight construction). This research provides useful evidence about using PCMs in UK residential applications and the results are helpful for architects and engineers to decide when and where to use PCMs in buildings to maintain a low carbon lifestyle.

“…Soliman (1976) suggested the concept of high temperature solar distillation (active solar distillation system). Worldwide, many researchers (Rai and Tiwari, 1983;Lawrence and Tiwari, 1990;Tayeb, 1992;Tiwari et al, 2003;Dubey and Tiwari, 2008;Hamadou and Abdellatif, 2014;Ling et al, 2014;Huang et al, 2015;Sebaii et al, 2015;Feilizadeh et al, 2015;Rahbar et al, 2015;Morad et al, 2015;Nimr and Dahdolan, 2015;Dehghan et al, 2015;Taghvaei et al, 2015;Edalatpour et al, 2016;Tiwari and Sahota, 2017) have theoretically and experimentally studied different active solar distillation systems.…”

“…9,10 Although the thermal insulation layer could reduce the heat transfer coefficient of the envelope structure, it only serves as a heat insulation function and plays a limited role in energy storage. [12][13][14][15] Phase change materials (PCMs) can effectively improve the thermal inertia of materials because of their huge latent heat, so PCMs have received much attention in the recent energy-saving applications and research of building envelopes.

Summary Phase change materials (PCMs) contributed to building energy‐saving and thermal comfort through increasing the thermal capacity of building envelopes. In this study, a phase change material composite was developed by using the PCMs mixture of capric acid (CA) and lauric acid (LA) as the primary phase change energy storage agent and using the solid waste fly ash as a carrier material. The results showed that for Guangdong, the ideal PCMs mixture should have a transition temperature of 25.5oC, which could be obtained by using a mass ratio of CA/LA of 4:6. Then, experiment results also indicate that the optimum adsorption ratio of 2:1 (FA/PCMs) was detected for the synthesis of this FA/PCMs composite, which has the latent heat of 45.38 J/g and exists excellent thermal reliability. Moreover, simulation results by using EnergyPlus show that the proposed composite has a good building energy‐saving effect.
