Research on the Feasibility of Shape-Stabilized Phase-Change Materials at Lower Temperature Used in the Phase Change Wall

The shape-stabilized phase-change paraffin at lower temperature is an ideal material used in the phase-change wall. It can enhance the thermal storage capacity of the wall and save energy. The thermal properties of shape-stabilized phase-change paraffin were studied experimentally in this paper. The phase change temperature, latent heat and the stability of shape-stabilized phase-change paraffin with different component were analyzed. The critical mass fraction of paraffin required in the materials was discussed. The results may provide the basis for the application in the practical engineering in the future.
