description The article presents the results of experimental research together with the development of a response function presenting the thermal functioning of a new composite of a phase change material with carbon recyclate. The empirical research proved the improvement of the thermal functioning of the phase change material as a result of modifying its structure with carbon-based recycling material. The conducted experimental tests and statistical analysis proved that the obtained innovative composite is characterized by a more effective distribution of stored heat than the pure phase change material, which resulted in reduction of the heating and cooling time of the package by 10 min. The obtained innovative composite can improve the thermal efficiency of short-term heat storage systems, both in building components and in elements of heating and cooling systems, and translates into their increase in thermal efficiency.
