BioPCM brand phase-change material installed in a ceiling. This is used as a lightweight way to add thermal mass to a building, helping maintain stable comfortable temperatures without the need for continuous heating and cooling. Looking to the future, it may be that phase change energy storage remains of limited use in the residential space.
As a potential solution, the proposed system considers incorporating Phase Change Materials (PCM) in a standard radiant ceiling panel (RCP) to provide thermal energy storage capacity to the system instead of using the thermal mass of the building structure.
Phase change materials (PCMs) having a large latent heat during solid-liquid phase transition are promising for thermal energy storage applications. However, the relatively low thermal conductivity of the majority of promising PCMs (<10 W/ (m ⋅ K)) limits the power density and overall storage efficiency.
Phase change material (PCM) in commercial buildings save energy by actively absorbing and releasing heat. PCMs help maintain comfortable building temperatures with the potential to reduce peak sensible cooling loads and annual energy consumption in California and western climate zones with enough variation in day and night time temperatures.
Unlike batteries or capacitors, phase change materials don’t store energy as electricity, but heat. This is done by using the unique physical properties of phase changes – in the case of a material transitioning between solid and liquid phases, or liquid and gas. When heat energy is applied to a material, such as water, the temperature increases.
The phase change material must retain its properties over many cycles, without chemicals falling out of solution or corrosion harming the material or its enclosure over time. Much research into phase change energy storage is centered around refining solutions and using additives and other techniques to engineer around these basic challenges.
