The subject of the book is heat and cold storage with PCM (phase
change material) . Currently there are plenty of publications in
journals on different aspects of PCM technology, but there is no
introduction into basics and applications available for a beginner
or for somebody who works in one aspect of PCM technology and wants
to get a general overview. The book is intended to fill this gap
for researchers, graduate, and PhD students, mainly within science
and engineering. The book summarizes and explains the most
important basics and applications in a single text. The focus is on
the explanation of general concepts and their discussion on
selected examples. To go beyond an introduction, each chapter
supplies many references with focus on such references that serve
as an introduction into a special aspect, interesting websites, and
other similar information. The book also contains many derivations
of basic equations, examples, graphs and tables. To make reading
easier, the appendix also includes a list of the most important
definitions.
As an introduction, the chapters cover all aspects starting from
basic theoretical background to materials analysis and
modification, storage design, storage integration, and different
application examples. Special focus is on applications in
buildings, because this is where the potential to apply PCM is very
high.Latent heat storage with phase change materials (PCM) has the
potential to improve significantly the efficiency of heat and cold
storages and to reduce their size considerably. The book is an
introduction into the field for researchers and students. It
summarizes and explains the basics, general concepts, and
applications with examples in a single text. For a better
understanding, many derivations, graphs and tables are included.
All aspects from materials analysis and modification, storage
design, storage integration, and different application examples are
covered. Special focus is on applications in buildings.
