Chloride Hexahydrate

The research project Fraunhofer Cluster of Excellence “Programmable Materials” aims to develop new materials that can change their properties according to defined boundaries. This article describes the development and use of a novel programmable phase change material (PCM) for latent heat storage applications. At the moment, these PCMs have a programmable trigger mechanism incorporated that activates the crystallization of the material as a reaction to a defined stimulus so that the stored heat is released. In future development stages, programmability is to be integrated on the material level. The latent heat storage that is based on PCMs can be recharged by using the energy of the sun. As an example, for a possible application of such a material, the use of a novel programmable PCM in greenhouses to support heating energy reduction or to reduce the risk of frost is explained. Using the hygrothermal simulation tool WUFI® Plus, the effects in greenhouse constructions without and with commercially available or novel programmable PCMs are calculated and presented in the present article. The calculations are based on the material data of calcium chloride hexahydrate (CaCl2-6H2O), as this material serves as a basic material for the development of programmable PCM compositions. The results of the simulations show a positive impact on the indoor temperatures in greenhouses in view of the risk of frost and the reduction of heating energy. Thus, the vegetation period can be extended in combination with a lower energy load. By an eligible actuation mechanism, an inherent material system for temperature control can be created.

Latent heat storage has shown a great potential in many engineering applications. The utilization of latent heat storage has been extended from small scales to large scales of thermal engineering applications. In food industry, latent heat has been applied in food storage. Another potential application of latent heat storage is to maintain hot beverages at a reasonable drinking temperature for longer periods. In the present work, a numerical calculation was performed to investigate the impact of utilizing encapsulated phase change material PCM on the temperature of hot beverage. The PCM was encapsulated in rings inside the cup. The results showed that the encapsulated PCM reduced the coffee temperature to an acceptable temperature in shorter time. In addition, the PCM maintained the hot beverage temperature at an acceptable drinking temperature for rational time.

Selection Of

Esta investigación tiene como objetivo seleccionar un material de cambio de fase (PCM) que cumplen mejor la solución del almacenamiento de energía térmica entre 200-400 ° C y reducir el costo de producción. El uso de métodos multicriterios de toma de decisiones (MCMD) para la evaluación fueron proporcionales implementados como COPRAS-G, TOPSIS y VIKOR. La ponderación de los criterios se realizó por el método AHP (proceso analítico jerárquico) y los métodos de entropía. La correlación de los resultados entre los tres métodos de clasificación ha sido desarrollada por el coeficiente de correlación de Spearman. Los resultados ilustran el mejor y la segundo mejor opción para los tres MCDM fueron NaOH y KNO3. Además, tenía valores de correlación de Spearman entre los métodos excede de 0.714.
