“…The research into the so-called phase change materials (PCMs) aims to provide us with materials with suitable properties for these tasks. It is evident that apart from such aspects as environmental safety, economic feasibility and ease of application, correct knowledge of the physical properties of the candidate materials is required, in particular the thermal properties [1].…”

“…In general, the larger the difference in order between the two phases, the larger the transition heat will be, although the intermolecular interactions will also play an important role. As a consequence, transitions from solid to liquid and from liquid to vapour have high transition heats involved, but for practical applications, the large difference in volume between liquid and vapour is a problem (a short discussion and further references can be found in Reference [1]). Therefore, attention has been focussed at the solid-liquid transition [1,3,4], and to a lesser extent at solid-solid transitions [5][6][7][8].…”

“…All of these categories have their specific advantages and disadvantages, and books and reviews give systematic overviews of these [1,3,4,[9][10][11][12][13]. The use of ice as a material for cold storage is an age-old and common example of PCM use [14].…”

“…The application potential of a PCM is determined by a limited number of thermal parameters, corresponding to some evident questions: (1) at which temperature will it store/release heat? (2) How much heat will it store/release?…”

“…The latter can be quantified in different ways, but most commonly, thermal conductivity is taken as the measure. 1 In this paper, we will only be concerned with questions (1) and (2). Question (1) asks for the determination of the phase transition temperature, whereas (2) relates to the transition heat, and the heat capacity over the temperature range of application.…”

The correct determination of the phase transition behaviour of phase change materials (PCMs) is paramount for assessing their application potential. In this work, the merits of a novel calorimetric technique, Peltierelement-based adiabatic scanning calorimetry (pASC), for PCM characterisation are investigated, especially in comparison with the commonly-used differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). A comparative study of two alkanebased PCMs, the commercial mixture RT42 and the pure alkane tricosane (C23) with these two techniques shows that pASC provides data at much higher resolution than DSC, due to its operation in thermodynamic equilibrium. Specifically the rate-dependence and deformation that is inherent to DSC experiments is absent in pASC. In addition, the enthalpy of the PCM is directly obtained. pASC results easily conform to the accuracy limits that are proposed in literature for the transition temperature and storage capacity of PCMs.

Since the nineteenth century, a systematic study of heat storage systems through latent heat using phase‐change materials ( PCM s) has been carried out. This article contains the most important and useful information about PCMs, system design and its applications, and advances that PCMs have undertaken today. The information related to the classification of PCM s and what properties must have a material to be considered as a PCM are presented. Owing to the loss by evaporation and to prevent leakage of PCM s, it is necessary to encapsulate it; therefore, a review of the methods of encapsulation is done, emphasizing microencapsulation: chemical, physicochemical and physicomechanical processes, and shape‐stabilized methods. PCM storage systems can be applied to use of latent heat for thermal protection or inertia or to store a big amount of energy in a small temperature range. In this article, depending on the application and the energy and power needs of PCM storage systems, the requirements, design, and methodologies are reviewed. Many applications of PCMs can be found. In this work, a detailed review of various applications such as electronic devices, food and medicine protection, clothing, buildings, and PCM s in concentrated solar power plants and in greenhouses is presented. In addition, implementation of latent heat energy storage in waste heat recovery systems and transportation of energy are mentioned. Few papers with economic evaluation of systems integrating PCM s are reviewed.
