Phase change material (PCM) can absorb or release a large quantity of latent heat when it changes phase from solid state to liquid state or vice versa, and has very important applications in thermal energy storage systems. One of the combination methods is incorporating PCM in porous building materials, which are suitable matrix materials for PCM. In this paper, two kinds of ceramsite manufactured from East Lake sludge and paraffin were selected to form phase change composites by using the vacuum impregnation method. Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) analysis was used to evaluate the phase change behavior. The result showed that the peak temperature (TP) and latent heat of the melting process of the paraffin in ceramsite A and B was a little higher than that of the bulk paraffin.

Polymer Encapsulation

Wider application of commercially produced phase change materials in production of building composites is limited due to their higher price and the inert polymer encapsulation which negatively affects mechanical parameters. This paper is focused on preparation of the composite material for energy savings. The phase change composite is prepared by soaking palm wax into the structure of diatomite powder using vacuum impregnation method. The compatibility of diatomite and palm wax in a newly developed PCM structure is investigated by FTIR spectroscopy. The improved thermal storage properties obtained by DSC analysis reveal melting temperature at 55.9°C and the phase change latent heat of 78.0 J/g. The laser diffraction based devise is used to determine the particle size distribution in order to assess the suitability of the developed wax/diatomite based composite for the cement based building materials. The obtained results indicate promising results from the point of view of improved latent heat storage at reasonable cost.

Phase change thermal control technology has gained increasing focus as an emerging technology for the thermal control of spacecraft. This literature focused on melting process inside a latent heat energy storage filled with phase change material (PCM) by numerical simulation. A matrix-based enthalpy porosity theory in a three-dimensional finite volume discretization is simulated. The temperature distribution during the melting process of PCM Cerrolow-136 and CH3COONa·3H2O is obtained, based on which the thermal control function and energy storage capacity is compared. The results show that Cerrolow-136 has better performance. In different states of phase change, the temperature distribution of Cerrolow-136 is fairly uniform. Thermal control face's temperature of Cerrolow-136 is closer to phase transition temperature. In the same heat flux of 3000 W/m2, The whole process of thermal control temperature getting to 80°C for Cerrolow-136 is longer. Cerrolow-136, for its excellent characteristics, has potentially broad application in the fields of latent heat energy storage and space vehicle electronics.

Composite Phase Change Materials

Polyethylene glycol (PEG)/ expanded vermiculite (EVMT) shape-stabilized composite phase change material (ss-CPCM) was prepared by a facile vacuum impregnation method. The maximum mass percentage for PEG retained in ss-CPCM was 75.1 wt.% due to specific non-uniform flat layers pore structure of EVMT. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) analysis results indicated that the melted PEG was adsorbed on the surface and completely dispersed into the pores of EVMT and no chemical changes took place during the heating and cooling processes. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results showed that the crystal structure of PEG was not destroyed after impregnation whereas the crystallization process of PEG was greatly restrained. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results indicated that ss-CPCM melted at 57.61°C with a latent heat of 103.1 J/g and solidified at 33.19°C with a latent heat of 88.29 J/g. In addition, the thermal conductivity of ss-CPCM reached 0.418W/m K. The ss-CPCM can be considered as promising candidate materials for building applications due to their suitable phase change temperature, large latent heat and excellent chemical compatibility.

Transfer Delay

Phase change materials (PCMs) have been widely used to improve the thermal energy storage capacity of building materials. In this study, the n-octadecane (OD)/expanded perlite (EP) composite PCM, which was prepared by incorporation of liquid n-octadecane into EP using the vacuum impregnation method, was used to fabricate the gypsum board. The microscopic, thermal, and mechanical properties were studied. The SEM results showed that OD could be absorbed into the pores of EP uniformly. The FI-IR results showed that OD and EP have good chemical stability. It was found that the gypsum board has best heat transfer delay when the volume fraction of OD/EP was 20% (v/v). The mechanical property of the gypsum board with OD/EP decreased. To deal with the problem, the effect of nano-Al2O3 on the gypsum board was also studied. The results showed that the mechanical properties of the gypsum board were effectively increased when the dosage of nano-Al2O3 was 0.5 wt.%, and the gypsum board had the best thermal insulation effect when the nano-Al2O3 content was 0.3 wt.%. Considering the cost and the comprehensive property, it was suggested that the optimal addition content of nano-Al2O3 was 0.3 wt.%.

Heat energy storage systems were fabricated with the impregnation method using MgO and Mg(OH)2 as supporting materials and polyethylene glycol (PEG-6000) as the functional phase. MgO and Mg(OH)2 were synthesized from the salt Mg(NO3)·6H2O by performing hydrothermal reactions with various precipitating agents. The precipitating agents were NaOH, KOH, NH3, NH3 with pamoic acid (PA), or (NH4)2CO3. The result shows that the selection of the precipitating agent has a significant impact on the crystallite structure, size, and shape of the final products. Of the precipitating agents tested, only NaOH and NH3 with PA produce single-phase Mg(OH)2 as the as-synthesized product. Pore size distribution analyses revealed that the surfaces of the as-synthesized MgO have a slit-like pore structure with a broad-type pore size distribution, whereas the as-synthesized Mg(OH)2 has a mesoporous structure with a narrow pore size distribution. This structure enhances the latent heat of the phase change material (PCM) as well as super cooling mitigation. The PEG/Mg(OH)2 PCM also exhibits reproducible behavior over a large number of thermal cycles. Both MgO and Mg(OH)2 matrices prevent the leakage of liquid PEG during the phase transition in phase change materials (PCMs). However, MgO/PEG has a low impregnation ratio and efficiency, with a low thermal storage capability. This is due to the large pore diameter, which does not allow MgO to retain a larger amount of PEG. The latent heat values of PEG-1000/PEG-6000 blends with MgO and Mg(OH)2 were also determined with a view to extending the application of the PCMs to energy storage over wider temperature ranges.

Using paraffin as phase change material, expanded perlite (EP) as porous materials, the EP/paraffin was prepared by vacuum impregnation treatment and tested by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Adding other building materials, cement bricks based paraffin (CBBP) for thermal energy storage were molded and tested by means of water absorption, compressive strength and actual working of thermal energy storage. The testing results showed that paraffin was absorbed into the holes and cracks of EP, and CBBP had not linear change of various properties versus amount of cement or paraffin. Its mechanical strength was full compliance with national standard GB 21144-2007-T. At last, by phase change material exothermic or endothermic, CBBP effectively regulated outdoor surface temperature in summer: in temperature rising stage, CBBP was 4.63 °C lower than general cement bricks (GCB, no paraffin); in the cooling stage, CBBP was 2.30 °C higher than GCB.
