“…Accordingly [73] , the commonly used salts for PCMs include sodium sulfate decahydrate (Na 2 SO that may also play significant roles in creating PCMs include iron (III) chloride hexahydrate (FeCl 3 •6H 2 O) and zinc nitrate hexahydrate (ZnNO 3 •6H 2 O) [73] . The quality of these salts for use in various categories depends on the key features like the melting point temperatures and their ability to undergo supercooling [68] . The most commonly used salt hydrate is Sodium sulfate decahydrate (Na 2 SO 4 •10H 2 O) [73] .…”

“…The use of phase change materials (PCMs) in the temperature management of electronics has seen increased interests lately for systems with cyclical duty cycles, so the PCM can first store the excess heat produced by the electronics and dissipate this heat to the environment at a later time when the electronics is idle [2]. Earlier concept included incorporating PCM in between the fins of heat sinks [3,4], or sandwiching the PCM between a heat sink and the electronics [5].…”

Quantifying the performance of phase change materials (PCMs) for thermal energy storage in high-power short-duration electronics applications requires performing tests that push the material to its limit. This involves designing experiments to test solid-liquid PCMs in near real-world thermal load conditions to test its performance. Conventional cooling methods are sized to manage the maximum loading the cooling system will be subjected to in its operation, even if this loading occurs for a short period of time. This design ethos is inefficient and results in heavy and expensive equipment being used in an application where it will be underutilized most of its useful life. In this work, a PCM thermal energy storage (TES) device was built using a plate-and-frame heat exchanger and investigated to determine the suitability of this system to manage the temperature of high-power electronics with a low duty cycle. These experiments showed how a PCM-TES can be used in conjunction with conventional temperature management equipment to create a reliable cooling solution while allowing the conventional cooling components to be decreased in size and capacity. This work shows that, for a given application, a cooling system can be more efficiently designed with the use of a PCM-TES and opens the door to additional research on this topic.
