Development and energy evaluation of phase change material composite for building energy‐saving

Phase change materials (PCMs) contributed to building energy‐saving and thermal comfort through increasing the thermal capacity of building envelopes. In this study, a phase change material composite was developed by using the PCMs mixture of capric acid (CA) and lauric acid (LA) as the primary phase change energy storage agent and using the solid waste fly ash as a carrier material. The results showed that for Guangdong, the ideal PCMs mixture should have a transition temperature of 25.5^oC, which could be obtained by using a mass ratio of CA/LA of 4:6. Then, experiment results also indicate that the optimum adsorption ratio of 2:1 (FA/PCMs) was detected for the synthesis of this FA/PCMs composite, which has the latent heat of 45.38 J/g and exists excellent thermal reliability. Moreover, simulation results by using EnergyPlus show that the proposed composite has a good building energy‐saving effect.

Encapsulated phase change materials for thermal energy storage: Experiments and simulation

In the present study, encapsulated phase change materials (PCMs) were used for the storage of thermal energy. Both experiments and simulation were performed to evaluate the characteristics of encapsulated PCMs. Tests were conducted in a packed bed to determine the performance of the encapsulated PCM. In the preparation of encapsulated PCMs, the coacervation technique was used. The performance of the encapsulated PCM was evaluated in terms of encapsulation ratio, hydrophilicity, and energy storage capacity. The experiments were designed, based on surface response method, to optimize the processing conditions. It was found that a higher coating to paraffin ratio led to a higher paraffin encapsulation ratio. The hydrophilicity value of encapsulated paraffin depended mainly on the ratio of paraffin to coating. The higher the ratio, the lower was its product hydrophilicity. When the paraffin to coating ratio was constant, the higher concentration of HCHO led to a lower hydrophilicity of the product. The encapsulated paraffin has shown large energy storage and release capacity (20–90 J g^?1) during its phase changes depending on different ratios of paraffin to coating. Thermal cyclic test showed that encapsulated paraffin kept its geometrical profile and energy storage capacity even after 1000 cycles of operation. In the experiments and simulation of fluid heating process in encapsulated PCM charged packed bed, results showed that Eulerian granular multiphase model in FLUENT 4.47 is suitable for simulation of such a system.

Photo-to-thermal conversion and energy storage of lauric acid/expanded graphite composite phase change materials

To make better use of solar energy, lauric acid/expanded graphite (LA/EG) composite phase change materials (PCMs) were synthesized to collect and store solar energy as latent heat thermal energy. The results of thermal characteristics show that when the mass fraction of EG is 5%, 10%, and 15%, the latent heat of LA/EG is 164.5, 156.9, and 148.0 J/g, and the thermal conductivity is 2.73, 7.98, and 10.54 W/(m·K). Leakage test shows that LA/EG PCMs with EG mass fraction of 10% and 15% are form stable after phase change. One thousand thermal cycles prove good thermal reliability of LA/EG. TG analysis indicates LA/EG PCMs have good thermal stability within operating temperature range. The Ultraviolet-visible spectra reveal that the absorbance of LA/EG composite PCMs would increase as the mass fraction of EG increases. Photothermal conversion experiment results indicate that the photothermal conversion efficiency of LA/EG composite PCMs increases as the mass fraction of EG increases, and the efficiency can reach 95% when the mass fraction of EG is 15%. Moreover, it was also found that the process of photothermal conversion can be accelerated with stronger illumination intensity or smaller heat transfer size. All the results show that the prepared LA/EG PCMs can convert solar energy into thermal energy and store it in the form of latent heat at the same time, which indicates it has promising prospect in the application of solar energy conversion and storage.     

Numerical assessing energy performance for building envelopes with phase change material

In hot climate, phase change material (PCM) can be incorporated into building envelopes to reduce heat gain through the building envelopes and therefore reduce its cooling demand. In this study, the energy performance of building envelopes integrated with PCM has been explored using a popular dynamic building performance simulation package, EnergyPlus, and the energy saving mechanism of PCM was investigated. The simulation results reflected that PCM could effectively help to reduce the building's annual energy consumption by 20.9% for Guangzhou, China. In addition, for the Guangzhou city, 27°C transition temperature, smaller thermal conductivity of roof, and higher amount of PCM can all help to improve the building's energy performance. Additionally, it is suggested that in real building development/retrofit projects, the selection of PCM needs to be based on both their thermal properties and the local climatic conditions of the building.

Optimal roof structure with multilayer cooling function materials for building energy saving

Both cool roof and phase change thermal storage are promising technologies in decreasing building energy consumption. Combining these two technologies is likely to further enhance the thermal comfort of the building as well as reduce air condition loads. In this paper, the cooling performance and energy-saving effects of four types of roof (normal roof, phase change material [PCM] roof, cool roof, and cool PCM roof [cool roof coupled with PCM]) were investigated under a simulated sunlight. Experimental results indicate that compared with normal roof, the other three roofs are able to narrow the indoor temperature fluctuation and decrease the heat flow entering into the room. Among them, cool PCM roof gave the best energy-saving effect that can lower the indoor temperature and heat entering into rooms by 6.6°C and 52.9%, respectively. Besides, the PCM location, PCM thickness, and insulation thickness exerted great impacts on the cooling performance of the roof. Placing the PCM on the internal layer beneath the extruded polystyrene (XPS) insulation board can make the indoor temperature 1.2°C lower than that on the middle layer. Although thicker PCM panels or insulation boards can provide a better thermal insulation, 5 mm in PCM thickness and 20 mm in insulation thickness are enough to guarantee the indoor temperature of cool PCM roof system at a comfortable range (22°C-28°C) for a whole day. These findings will give guidance in designing buildings with a light and compact roof structure to decrease energy consumption and improve comfort level.

Thermal performance of stearic acid/carbon nanotube composite phase change materials for energy storage prepared by ball milling

In this work, stearic acid/carbon nanotubes composite phase change materials (SA/CNTs composite PCMs) were fabricated by ball milling for the first time to enhance the heat conduction of SA and prevent the delamination of SA and CNTs components. The results of suspension stability study conducted using a gravity sedimentation method showed that polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) used as dispersant has the best effect on the stability of composite PCMs. Then, the thermal cycling test further proved the stability of prepared composite. The SEM and FT‐IR results revealed that ball milling led to the formation of highly homogeneous composites. The thermal properties of the fabricated SA/CNTs composites with CNTs contents of 2, 6, and 10 wt.% characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) demonstrated that their phase change temperatures varied slightly while the latent heat decreased with the increased CNTs content. Furthermore, the thermal conductivity of the SA/CNTs composites were greater than that of pure SA by 61.5%, 92.3%, and 119.2%, respectively. The addition of CNTs also increased the thermal release rates of the prepared PCMs and decreased their storage rates. Therefore, the produced materials can be potentially used in thermal management.
