Storage and transport of temperature sensitive products have become an important issue worldwide. The
enhancement of thermal performance of cold application is under investigation and implementing
thermal energy storage (TES) systems by using phase change materials (PCM) is one of the solutions to
better storage. Hence, the selection of the suitable PCM for each specific application is an important
matter. In this paper, a TES system using PCM for low temperature applications such as commercial
freezers is studied. A set of PCM formulations based on ammonium chloride e water binary system were
tested and analyzed to provide information useful for the selection of PCM with regards to their melting
range, latent heat, stability under cycling, and cost. Thermal cycling was conducted to determine the
thermal reliability of the PCM and the thermal properties were determined using differential scanning
calorimetry (DSC) analysis. |
