A Study of Trimethylolethane Hydrate as a Phase Change Material

TL;DR: In this paper, the phase separation phenomena of TME hydrate in the stagnant melt was investigated on condition that the hydrate was used with a capsule type heat storage system, and it was found that TME can be used as a heat storage material without thickening agent under some concentration.

Evaluation of an integrated household refrigerator evaporator with two eutectic phase-change materials.

TL;DR: In this paper, the phase change materials (PCMs) in domestic refrigerators are used to decrease the cycle time of the compressor and reduce internal temperature fluctuations, and two eutectic PCMs are thermally characterised (PLUSICE E-10 and 19.5% NH4Cl).

Thermal energy storage using sodium sulfate decahydrate and water

Dipak R. Biswas
- 01 Jan 1977 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the major problem preventing use of sodium sulfate decahydrate for thermal energy storage can be avoided by using the composition which is at or slightly to the water-rich side of the invariant point in the phase diagram.

Thermal energy storage for solar heating and off-peak air conditioning

TL;DR: Parametric designs for two latent heat materials (sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate and a paraffin wax) and for a sensible heat material (a 1:1 mixture of water and ethylene glycol) were compared as to cost, performance, and space requirements.

An investigation of the thermal energy storage capacity of Glauber's salt with respect to thermal cycling

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the thermal energy storage capacity of the unthickened mixture to the thickened mixture as a function of thermal cycling and showed a significant improvement in performance of the thinnened mixture over that of the Glauber's salt and borax mixture.
