Solid-liquid phase-change materials are usually encapsulated for installation in the end application, to be contained in the liquid state. In some applications, especially when incorporation to textiles is required, phase change materials are micro-encapsulated. Micro-encapsulation allows the material to remain solid, in the form of small ...
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling and simulation for phase change materials (PCMs) is a technique used to analyze the performance and behavior of PCMs. The CFD models have been successful in studying and analyzing the air quality, natural ventilation and stratified ventilation, air flow initiated by buoyancy forces and temperature space for the systems integrated with PCMs.
Outlast Technologies, commonly referred to as Outlast, develops and sells phase change materials (PCMs) in the United States and internationally. Outlast offers Thermocules, a microencapsulated phase change materials, which are incorporated into fabrics and fibers for absorbing, storing, and releasing excess heat. The company’s products ...
GeSbTe (germanium-antimony-tellurium or GST) is a phase-change material from the group of chalcogenide glasses used in rewritable optical discs and phase-change memory applications. Its recrystallization time is 20 nanoseconds, allowing bitrates of up to 35 Mbit /s to be written and direct overwrite capability up to 10 6 cycles.
Recent research on PCM has been directed towards attempting to find viable material alternatives to the phase-change material Ge 2 Sb 2 Te 5 (GST), with mixed success. Other research has focused on the development of a Ge Te–Sb 2 Te 3 superlattice to achieve non-thermal phase changes by changing the co-ordination state of the germanium atoms ...
This little tube is filled with phase change material (PCM) which stays cold for long periods. It's meant to be frozen and fits comfortably around your neck to give you fast relief from the heat.
Phase change materials used for thermal storage are capable of storing and releasing significant thermal capacity at the temperature that they change phase. These materials are chosen based on specific applications because there is a wide range of temperatures that may be useful in different applications and a wide range of materials that ...
A hybrid shipping container is a shipping system that uses the energy of phase-change material (PCM) in combination with the ability to recharge without removing the media. This ability is known as cold-energy battery. [1]
