Paraffin O/W emulsion for cold storage and distribution applications.

Summary

Phase change slurry (PCS) is a multifunctional fluid consisting of a phase change material (PCM) as dispersed phase and a carried fluid as continuous phase. PCS can store or transfer amounts of thermal energy by using the latent heat capacity of the used PCM. In this paper, paraffin oil-in-water emulsion has been studied as PCS for comfort cooling applications in the temperature range between 0-20°C. The heat transfer capacity and the rheological behaviour of a paraffin emulsion have been investigated in test rigs and the results are presented here.
