Abstract

This study is investigated the supercooling improvement and the phase change temperature of the TMA clathrate compound including TMA(Tri-Methyl-Amine, ($(CH_3)_3N$) of 25 wt% with additive as a low temperature storage material at $6^{\circ}C$ and $-7^{\circ}C$ of heat source. The additive is ethanol of 0.1, 0.3 wt% and 0.5 wt%. The results showed that as the concentration of ethanol is increased, the phase change temperature, the degree of supercooling and the retention time of liquid phase are decreased. Especially, TMA 25 wt% clathrate compound with ethanol of 0.5wt% has the average of phase change temperature of $3.8^{\circ}C$, degree of supercooling of $0.9^{\circ}C$, $0.8^{\circ}C$ and retention time of liquid phase for 6, 5 minutes at $-6^{\circ}C$, $-7^{\circ}C$ of heat source. From the results of this study, TMA 25wt% clathrate compound with ethanol 0.5wt% showed supercooling repression effect.
