Phase Change Materials (PCMs), also called latent heat energy storage materials, refer to materials that absorb (release) a large amount of heat energy for energy storage when the phase changes, and among them, solid-liquid phase change materials are widely used.
Solid-liquid PCMs can be classified into three types, organic PCMs, inorganic PCMs, and composite PCMs, according to chemical composition classification.
The organic PCMs have good solid state formability, less material corrosiveness, more stable performance, less toxicity and difficult supercooling and phase separation.
The phase change microcapsule (MCPCM) is a new type working medium with the functions of absorbing or releasing latent heat, reducing the size of heat exchange equipment and the like, and the phase change material is encapsulated by utilizing the microcapsule technology and then mixed with a single-phase heat transfer working medium to prepare suspension.
After the phase-change material is microencapsulated, the heat conduction area of the phase-change material can be increased, the volume change in the phase-change process can be controlled, the defect that the phase-change material is easy to leak can be overcome, and certain heat conduction can be improved.
