Research and Development of Thermal Storage of Phase Change Materials

Energy storage of phase change materials used in the building fields is more and more valuable and has become focus at home and abroad.The performance and types of phase change materials used in the thermal storage were studied.Development status of thermal storage theory and technology of phase change materials was introduced,and application of phase change materials in the building envelope,solar heating system,electric heat-storing system and cool-storing air conditioning system were analyzed.The result shows that the technology of thermal storage of phase change materials has good development prospect.
