Evaluation of paraffin/water emulsion as a phase change slurry for cooling applications

摘要: Abstract A Phase Change Slurry (PCS) is a latent heat storage and transfer medium consisting of Material (PCM) as dispersed phase carrier fluid continuous phase. PCSs have high energy density because they use not only the sensible capacity fluid, but also PCM during transition. In this paper, paraffin/water emulsion has been studied PCS for comfort cooling applications in temperature range 0–20 °C. paraffin blend having melting 2–12 °C was used preparing emulsion. The properties were view application requirements on PCSs. dependence between fraction investigated. stability examined both period under mechanical–thermal loads test rig by determining change properties. results indicate that containing weight 30–50 wt.% an attractive candidate cold distribution applications.
