Review of microencapsulated phase change materials for thermal energy storage applications.

Materiales con cambio de fase microencapsulados: aplicaciones en acumulación de energía térmica.

Type of article: Periodical article

Summary

This article is the Spanish translation of an article presented at the IIR meeting in Auckland, Australia (see Bulletin of the IIR, reference 2007-0678). This paper reviews previous research using PCM slurries and reports on the microencapsulation of PCM by five different methods. Commercially available paraffinic PCM has been encapsulated resulting in average capsule sizes ranging from 5 to 150 micrometres. The thermal and mechanical performance of the microcapsules is being tested in slurry flow wing a double pipe heat exchanger, and by incorporation into gypsum wallboard to increase the thermal mass of buildings.
