Résumé

Efficient thermal energy distribution and rational energy management are effective solutions to address the significant and fast-ascending energy consumption in building heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC). Phase change material (PCM) slurries with excellent thermal energy transportation and storage characteristics have been recognised as promising secondary refrigerants to simultaneously facilitate efficient heat/cold transport and effective thermal energy storage in air conditioning systems. Among various PCM slurries, salt hydrate PCM slurries have attracted increasing attention in recent years due to their many inherent advantages. This paper presented the preparation, characterisation, and property modification of a CaCl2·6H2O slurry based on a methodology proposed for optimal salt hydrate PCM slurry development. Theoretical modelling was first carried out to assess the availability of salt hydrate PCM slurries based on the phase diagram and solid fraction, followed by a series of property measurements to reveal the mechanisms and address the problems behind the phase transition, crystal particle morphology, stability and rheologic characteristics, using nucleating agents, surfactants and stabilisers. It was found that the salt hydrate PCM slurry developed provides a unit volume enthalpy twice that of water over the phase change temperature range of 5°C, together with acceptable fluidity. The results also showed that the PCM particle size can be well controlled, and the slurry can be stabilised, with the assistance of surfactants and stabilisers. Compared to other types of PCM slurries, the proposed salt hydrate PCM slurry has the advantages of being cost-effectiveness, easy preparation, adjustable phase change temperature, etc., which is promising to facilitate energy saving and rationalisation in building HVAC.
