Using Metallic Foams with Macro-encapsulated Paraffin to Enhance the Charging and DIS-charging Processes

摘要: In this paper, the fabrication and development of metallic foams for an optimization thermal physical properties related to solar heat storage unit used paraffin waxwere explored. Macro-encapsulation comprises inclusion wax in some form package such as tubes, pouches, spheres, panels or other receptacle. These containers can serve directly exchangers they be incorporated building products.The conductivity during melting solidification processes, inner surface between transfer fluid (HTF) capacity latent improved by material structure which filled stored.By dispersion ceramic nanoparticles enhanced conductivity, performance, specific energy absorption, reduction onset temperature increasing wax. addition foams, aluminium copper, insertingcellular metal matrix composites reinforced with could also improve features while charging discharging processes.Aluminum a reinforcement open cell foam present unique combination properties, those metal/ceramic phase change (paraffin), still associating characteristics cellular materials, low density, highheat good conductivity. This article reviews experimental investigations carried out on influence particles processes paraffin. Keywords: Phase Cellular metals Composites, Ceramic .
