Polyols as Phase Change Materials for Low-grade Excess Heat Storage

Abstract: Polyols are an emerging phase change materials (PCM) category for thermal energy storage (TES), with moderate phase change temperatures and considerable enthalpies. These can be employed in systems for harvesting surplus energy from, industrial and power generation processes. However, knowledge on the properties of polyols in relation to desirable PCM properties is presently sparse and rather inconsistent. This work summarizes a literature review on polyols as PCM for TES. In addition, preliminary T-History ch… Show more

“…Comparing the thermal conductivity from the requirements with the values of the sugar alcohol from the literature [22] (λ ≈ 0.73 W m −1 K −1 , decreasing with higher temperature), it is conspicuous that this property has to be improved by additional filler materials with a better thermal conductivity.…”

“…Erythritol has also been identified by several studies as a PCM for latent heat thermal energy storage systems for temperature applications between 110 and 120°C [24][25][26][27][28][29]. Sharma et al [10] utilized erythritol as a heat storage material in a heat storage unit designed for cooking application.…”
