본 논문은 미세캡슐을 함유한 축열장판의 열성능에 관해서 조사하였고 기존 시판되고 있는 장판과 비교를 하였다. 상변화물질로는 Myristic Acid($CH_3(CH_2)_{12}COOH$)를 사용했고 이 물질을 PMMA와 왁스로 3중 코팅을 하였고 $1{\sim}1.5mm$인 캡슐로 제조를 하였다. ANSI/ASHRAE를 토대로 하여 열전달 매체로 공기를 사용한 밀폐형 실험장치를 구성하였으며, 공기유량은 오리피스를 통해서 측정된다. 실험에 사용된 두 개의 서로다른 장판(미세캡슐 함유율 중량비 10% 장판, 0% 장판)의 열성능을 평가하기 위해서 서로다른 공기유량에 대해서 방열시 열전달 특성에 관한 실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과를 보면 방열과정시 미세캡슐 함유율이 10%인 장판의 표면온도는 미세캡슐을 함유하지 않은 장판보다 더 높은 온도를 유지했다. 그리고 장판표면에서의 열전달계수는 미세캡슐을 함유하지 않은 장판과 비교해 볼 때 미세캡슐을 함유한 장판에서 더 높게 나타났다.

A phase-change material is a substance with a high heat of fusion which, melting and freezing at a certain temperature, is capable of storing and releasing large amounts of energy. Heat is absorbed or released when the material changes from solid to liquid. Therefore, PCMs are classified as latent heat storage (LHS) units. The purpose of this study is to analyze PCM wallboard design parameters using dynamic energy simulation. Among the factors of PCM, melting temperature, latent heat, phase change range, thermal conductivity are very important element to maximize thermal energy storage. In order to analyze these factors, EnergyPlus which is building energy simulation provided by department of energy from the U.S is used. heat balance algorithm of energy simulation is conduction finite difference and enthalpy-temperature function is used for analyzing latent heat of PCM. The results show that in the case of melting temperature, the thermal energy storage could be improved when the melting temperature is equal to indoor surface temperature. It seems that when the phase change range is wide, PCM can store heat at a wide temperature, but the performance of heat storage is languished.

본 연구는 용융된 파라핀을 채운 수직원관 내의 상변화물질의 초기온도와 수직원관의 벽면온도를 변화시켰을때 관 내에서 일어나는 열전달현상을 다루었다. 자연대류의 효과는 초기과열된 액상영역 내에서 응고초기 짧은 시간에 걸쳐 일어났고, 그 후 전도열전달이 paraffin 전 영역을 지배하였다. 실험에서 관찰한 응고 형태는 상부표면에서 밀도 증가에 의한 수축공간이 발생하였으며, 그 공간의 크기는 냉각이 진행됨에 따라 증가하였다. 자연대류가 끝나자. 상경계면 상에서 수지상 결정과 mush-zone이 발견되었다. 액상 paraffin의 초기과열은 실험 전반부의 응고질량과 응고두께를 감소시키는 경향을 보였으며, 초기액상과열도와 벽면 과냉도가 큰 경우에 크게 나타났다.

의류용 섬유제품은 고유의 기능인 보온성을 비롯하여, 태나 착용감, 또는 패션에 부응하는 다양한 성능이 요구되고 있다. 섬유 직물의 보온기능은 경량 보온과 축열 보온 그리고 발열 등이 중요한 기능으로 인식되고 있으며 특히 적극적인 보온성이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 그 개선책으로서 패션소재표면에 상전이물질을 코팅하여 보온성을 조사했다. 상전 이물질 (PCM,Phase change materials) 입자를 DSC분석기로 측정하여 열거동을 관찰하였고, 실크직물과 실크혼방 직물에 PCM과 키토산을 농도별로 처리하여 보온성 테스트와 SEM을 측정하였다. 실크직물과 실크혼방 직물에 PCM과 키토산 처리하여 직물의 보온성을 측정해 본 결과, 실크직물 9.1% 실크혼방 직물은 29.9%로 실크혼방 직물이 실크직물보다 우수한 보온성을 보였다. SEM 관찰에서도 실크직물과 실크혼방 직물의 표면에 PCM입자의 침투정도도 확연한 차이를 보였다. 이를 미루어 볼 때 실크직물보다 실크혼방 직물에 PCM과 키토산을 처리하였을 경우 우수한 보온성을 보인다고 생각된다.

In the present investigation, experiments on the melting of a phase change material were performed to research heat transfer phenomena generated by means of conduction and natural convection in the vertical tube at inward melting. The phase change material used in the experiments is 99 percent pure n-Docosane paraffin which is measured melting temperature of $42.5^{\circ}C$, latent heat of 37.5 cal/g, heat conductivity of $0.1505W/m^{\circ}C$. Experiments were performed both in the no-subcooling which is initiating it at melting temperature of phase change material, and in the subcooling which means to initiate it under melting temperature of phase change material, in order to compare and investigate the horizontal temperature history, vertical temperature history, ratio of melting and melted mass, figure of the melting front in the vertical tube. In the experimental results, heat transfer from tube wall to phase change material were due to conduction at early stage and due to natural convection with the passage of time, and then occurred melting downward from surface by volumetric expansion. Natural convection affects temperature distribution in the tube, ratio of melting and melted mass, figure of the melting front and then progress rapidly in case of nosubcooling compared to subcooling.

This paper presents the experimental study of cabin thermal comfort using a cold storage heat exchanger in a vehicle air-conditioning system. Recent vehicle-applied ISG functions for fuel economy and emission, but when vehicles stop, compressors in the air-conditioning system stop, and the cabin temperature sharply increases, making passengers feel thermal discomfort. This study conducts thermal comfort evaluation in the vehicle, which is applied to a cold storage system for the climate control wind tunnel test and the vehicle fleet road test with various airflow volume rates and ambient temperatures blowing to the cold storage heat exchanger. The experimental results, in the cold storage system, air discharge temperature is $3.1-4.2^{\circ}C$ lower than current air-conditioning system when the compressor stops and provides cold air for at least 38 extra seconds. In addition, the blowing airflow volume to the cold storage heat exchanger with various ambient temperature was examined for the control logic of the cold storage system, and in the results, the airflow volume rate is dominant over the outside temperature. For this study, a cold storage system is economically useful to keep the cabin at a thermally comfortable level during the short period when the engine stops in ISG vehicles.

The present study has been conducted for manufacturing MPCM (microencapsulated phase change material) slurry with in-situ polymerization and proving their applicabilities for tooling system. The surface of MPCM is composed of melamine, while tetradecane, paraffin wax, is centered in the MPCM. The produced capsules are observed by the optical microscope and SEM for superficial shapes. Their thermal properties are measured by DSC. Their size distributions are observed by FA particle analyzer. A narrow size distribution from 1 to 10 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ with 5 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ of average diameter was observed. Melting temperature was 6.7$^{\circ}C$. The durability of MPCM was tested with various types of pump such as centrifugal, peristaltic, and mono pumps. During 10000 cycles the fraction of broken capsules was smaller than 6% for the centrifugal and peristaltic pumps, while bigger value of 8% for the mono pump. A cooling system, which adopted MPCM slurry as a media for transporting cold thermal energy, was designed to investigate the performance of the MPCM. The discharging times of 10 and 20 wt% MPCM slurry were lasted up to 105 and 285 minutes longer, respectively, than the water cooling system.

The physical model of interest is based upon the concentric cylinder, where the outside cylinder is filled with optically thick and high temperature phase change material(PCM). The fluid is flowing through the inside cylinder to transfer the appropriate energy. The fluid is flowing through the inside cylinder to transfer the appropriate energy. The governing equations for the phase change material including internal thermal radiation and for the turbulent transfer fluid have been employed and numerically solved. The optically thick phase change justifies the P-l spherical harmonics approximation, which is believed to be appropriate choice particularly for the much coupled problem like in this study. The solid/liquid interface, temperature distribution within the PCM and the heat flux from the PCM to the transfer fluid have been obtained and compared with those of laminar transfer fluid. The numerical results show that the turbulent transfer fluid accelerates the solid/liquid interface and results in the increase of heat transfer rate from the PCM. The internal thermal radiation within the PCM, however, does not always playa role to increase the heat transfer rate throughout the inside cylinder. It is believed that the combined heat flux has been picked up more in the inflowing area than in the pure conductive phase change material.

In a cold chain, the refrigerator is also employed for defrosting, by using an electric heater, which consumes 15% of the power for the system operation. In this study, the condensation heat of the refrigerant was suggested as the heat source of defrosting heat, instead of that from an electric defrost heater. The heat for defrosting was stored to a phase change material (PCM, NMP : $52^{\circ}C$) in thermal storage, and was periodically supplied to the evaporator by a circulation loop of brine. As a result, a defrost time by the PCM was obtained that was less than or equal to that by the electric heater. Moreover, power consumption during defrosting was saved by up to 99% of that of the electric heater.

Thermal storage plays an important role in building energy saving, which is greatly assisted by the incorporation of latent heat storage in building materials. A phase change material is a substance with a high heat of fusion which, melting and solidifying at a certain temperature, can be storing and releasing large amount of energy. Heat is stored or released when the material changes from solid to liquid. Integration of building materials incorporating PCMs into the building envelope can result in increased efficiency of the built environment. The aim of this research is to identify thermal performance of PCMs impregnated building materials which is applied to interior of building such as gypsum and red clay. In order to analyze thermal performance of phase change materials, test-cell experiments and simulation analysis were carried out. The results show that micro-encapsulated PCM has an effect to maintain a constant indoor temperature using latent heat through the test-cell experiments. PCM wallboard makes it possible to reduce the fluctuation of room temperature and heating and cooling load by using EnergyPlus simulation program. Phase change material can store solar energy directly in buildings. Increasing the heat capacity of a building is capable of improving human comfort by decreasing the frequency of indoor air temperature swings so that the interior air temperature is closer to the desired temperature for a long period of time.
