Microencapsulation of Butyl Stearate as Phase Change Material by Melamine Formaldehyde Shell for Thermal Energy Storage

Butyl stearate as a phase change material was microencapsulated within melamine-formaldehyde resin using emulsion polymerization. Morphology and thermal specification of produced microcapsules were studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, FT-IR, scanning electron microscopy, SEM, and Differential scanning calorimetry analysis, DSC. FT-IR spectra validated the existence of the butyl s...

Experimental Analysis of Latent Heat Thermal Energy Storage using Paraffin Wax as Phase Change Material

A significant amount of heat is wasted in manufacturing process, electricity generation, chemical and industrial process. Recovery and reuse of this energy through storage can be useful in conservation of energy. In the present study, a double pipe type heat exchanger has been designed and fabricated for low temperature industrial waste heat recovery using phase change material (PCM) paraffin w...

Study on the Performance of a Ground Source Heat Pump System Assisted by Solar Thermal Storage

A ground source heat pump system (GSHPS) utilizes a relatively stable underground temperature to achieve energy-saving for heating and cooling in buildings. However, continuous long-term operation will reduce the soil temperature in winter, resulting in a decline in system performance. In this research, in order to improve the system performance of a GSHPS, a ground heat pump system integrated ...
