본 논문은 공장 등에서 버려지는 중온온도영역($100{\sim}250^{\circ}C$)에서의 패열을 잠열축열 시스템에서 유용하게 사용을 목적으로 잠열축열재인 에리스리톨와 만니톨 그리고 이것들을 혼합한 혼합물에 대한 조사에 관한 것이다. 또한, 만니톨에 에리스리톨을 첨가하는 것에 의해 융해 응고온도가 조정의 가능성에 대해서도 조사한다. 이때 에리스리톨과 만니톨 그리고 이것들의 혼합물의 융점과 잠열량은 시차주사열량계(DSC)를 이용하여 측정되며, 시험관안에 상변화물질을 충전하여 융해 응고거동을 디지털 카메라를 이용하여 관찰 된다. DSC측정결과에서는 만니톨의 함유량이 50~60mass%에서는 3개의 융점, 70~90mass%에서는 2개의 융점을 나타내는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 시험관을 이용한 실험결과에서는 만니톨의 함유량에 따라서 각 각 다른 융해 응고거동이 일어나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

The purposes of the present study are to investigate the characteristics of heat storage and emission of the PCM($CalCl_2{\cdot}6H_2O$) panel, and to analyze the distribution of indoor air temperature in a floor heating space with PCM panels for the heating system. Two identical unit test cells sized $1.8m^W{\times}1.8m^L{\times}1.8m^H$ were built and installed with specially designed aluminium Ondol-panels. It held 1.2kg of calcium chloride hexahydrate(CCH). It was found that PCM panels could reduce the indoor air temperature fluctuations and maintain the phase changing temperature for considerably long duration, $2{\sim}3$ times longer in heating hour over no-CCH one. When the elapsed time was 6 hours, the average temperature difference between PCM panel and Ondol panel was $7.7^{\circ}C$.

The present experiments have been performed for obtaining the melting heat transfer characteristics of micro-encapsulated solid-liquid phase-change material and water mixture slurry flow in a circular tube heated with constant wall heat flux. The phase change material having a low melting point was selected for a domestic cooling system in the present study. The governing parameters were found to be latent heat material concentration, heat flux, and the slurry velocity. The experimental results revealed that the increase of tube wall temperature of latent microcapsule slurry was lower than that of water caused by the heat absorption of fusion.

Though conventional calorimetry methods such as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) are used generally in measuring heat of fusion, T-history method has the advantages of a simple experimental apparatus and no requirements of sampling process, which is particularly useful for measuring thermal properties of inhomogeneous phase change materials (PCMs) in sealed tubes. However, random criteria (a degree of supercooling) used in selecting the range of latent heat release and neglecting sensible heat during the phase change process can cause significant errors in determining the heat of fusion. In the present study, it was shown that a 40% discrepancy exists between the original T-history and the present methods when analyzing the same experimental data. As a result, a reasonable modification to the original T-history method is proposed.

Cycle test for developed phase change material (PCM) is necessary in order to analyze the variation of latent heat, which decreases with time by deterioration. 7-history method and measurement using heat flux meter are appropriate for the cycle test in a tube filled with PCM because they do not need an extraction of sample in measuring the heat of fusion. In the present study, these methods were applied to a PCM having a melting point below a room temperature, different from the past studies for PCMs melting above a room temperature. As a result of experiment using pure water as specimen, we can obtain reason-able values for heat of fusion by both methods.

T-history method, measuring heat-of-fusion of phase change material (PCM) in sealed tubes, has the advantages of a simple experimental device and no requirements in sampling process. However, a degree of supercooling used in selecting the range of latent heat release and neglecting sensible heat during the phase change process can cause significant errors in determining the heat of fusion in the original method, which has been improved in order to predict better results by us. In the present study, the modified method was applied to a variety of PCM such as paraffin and lauric acid having very small or no supercooling with a satisfactory precision. Also the selection of inflection point and temperature measurement position was fumed out not to affect the accuracy of heat-of-fusion significantly. As a result, the method can provide an appropriate means to assess a new developed PCM by cycle test even if a very accurate value cannot be obtained.

The purpose of this paper is to propose the experimental method of thermal properties of Phase Change Materials (PCMs) by using T-history method. As far, in order to measure the heat of fusion and specific heat of PCMs, conventional thermal analysis methods such as DSC and DTA have been used. Because these methods test very small samples, thermal properties of samples are usually different from those of materials consisting of several components. For these reasons, T-history method, the simple measurement method of the heat of fusion and specific heat of PCMs have been performed. In this paper, we investigated the thermal properties of low temperature PCMs(below $0^{\circ}C$) under the charging process by using T-history method. The results are compared to those of DSC method. The T-history method will be useful for selection of the best PCM from lots of candidates and development of new PCMs.

When test tubes for PCM with melting point lower than a room temperature are installed vertically as the T-history method proposes, there exists a temperature distribution in the longitudinal direction by natural convection, which lowers the precision of measured heat-of-fusion. The purpose of the present work is to improve the precision by arranging the test tubes horizontally, while maintaining the simplicity and convenience. Assuming that the amount of heat transfer is very small through the vapor space formed in the upper part of the tubes by volumetric change, the obtained value by the T-history method using the latent heat period bounded by two inflection points is in good agreement with that of the literature. Also, the scattering of measured values by the proposed method decreases markedly compared to that of vertical positioning.
