Test of Two Phase Change Materials for Thermal Energy Storage: Determination of the Global Heat Transfer Coefficient

Laboratory scale experiments on the behaviour of two phase change materials, a salt and a paraffin, during fusion and solidification cycling processes, were accomplished. To do this, a system using thermal oil as the heat transfer carrier was used and the phase change material being tested operated...
