Long-term supercooled thermal energy storage (thermophysical properties of disodium hydrogenphosphate 12H2O)

This paper examined the thermophysical properties of hydrate using disodium hydrogenphosphate 12H2O to develop a long-term latent heat storage (LTLHS) using supercooling. The thermal conductivities of solid and liquid disodium hydrogenphosphate 12H2O were measured using the transient plane source (TPS) technique. Results showed that the thermal conductivity of liquid disodium hydrogenphosphate 12H2O increased slightly with temperature, whereas the solid phase showed a minor downward trend. Also, thermal ...

Experimental and multi-scale analysis of the thermal properties of Portland cement concretes embedded with microencapsulated Phase Change Materials (PCMs)

Phase change materials (PCMs) are an attractive solution for reducing energy usage because of their efficient latent heat storage abilities. This paper examined chemical and physical properties of micro-PCMs before and after their integration with concrete samples. A Thermal Constants Analyser (TPS) measured the thermal conductivity of the PCM-concrete using the transient plane source (TPS) method. Results showed that overall, the thermal conductivity of the concrete was unchanged after the ...

Growth rate of crystallization in disodium hydrogenphosphate dodecahydrate

Phase change materials have supercooling characteristics that would benefit long-term latent heat thermal energy storage. This paper studied the physical and chemical properties associated with the growth rate of crystallization in disodium hydrogenphosphate dodecahydrate (DHD) as a function of a degree of supercooling. The transient plane source (TPS) technique was used to measure the thermal conductivity of the DHD samples. Results of the thermal conductivity test showed that the solid ...

Preparation and thermal characterization of paraffin/metal foam composite phase change material 

Paraffin is an excellent phase change material (PCM) for latent heat storage, but it does not efficiently use stored energy because of its low thermal conductivity. In this study, nickel and copper foams were added to paraffin to enhance heat transfer. A Thermal Constants Analyzer measured the thermal conductivity of the paraffin composites using the transient plane source (TPS) method. The addition of copper foam enhanced the thermal conductivity of ...

Thermally conductive phase-change materials for energy storage based on low-density polyethylene, soft Fischer-Tropsch wax and graphite 

Phase change materials (PCMs) are becoming increasingly important in the field of thermal energy storage. In this study, conductive fillers were added to wax- and polyethylene-based PCMs to improve their thermal conductivity. A Thermal Constants Analyser measured the thermal conductivity of the PCMs using the transient plane source (TPS) method. Results indicated that both nanoparticles improved thermal conductivity, but a lower concentration of expanded graphite improved conductivity more than normal ...
