Microencapsulated PCM particles are mixed with distilled water and utilized to evaluate its characteristics and performance as a thermal storage medium transporting heat. For the present study, tetradecane(C$_14H_30, T_m=5.5^{\circ}C$) is capsulated in the core with the melamine of its surface. The size of particles is well-controlled under 10${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in the way of in-situ polymerization with melamine-formaldehyde resin. For the experiment, the concentrations of slurries are prepared for 20wt%, 30wt%, and 40wt%. The results are compared with those of water and 100% tetradecane oil. The pure water and tetradecane start solidifying within 20 minutes after introducing cooling water into the thermal storage tank whose tank whose flow rates are varied by 125cc/min, 250cc/min, and 500cc/min. However, MicroPCM slurries are required relatively longer period of time for their phase change than pure phase change materials. That is, the entrained MicroPCM particles control its heat transfer in terms of natural convection and conducting to them.

Microencapsulated pcm (MPCM) particles are mixed with distilled water and utilized to evaluate its characteristics and performance as a thermal storage medium transporting heat. For the present study, tetradecane ($C_14$$H_30$, $T_m$=5.5$^{\circ}C$) is capsulated in the core, coated with the melamine for their surface. The size of particles is well-controlled under 10$\mu$m in the process of in-situ polymerization with melamine-formaldehyde resin. For the experiment, the concentractions of slurries are prepared for 20 wt%, 30 wt%, and 40 wt%. The results are compared with those of water and 100% tetradecane oil. The pure water and tetradecane start solidifying within 20 minutes after introducing cooling water into the thermal storage tank whose flow rates are varied by 125 cc/min, 250 cc/min, and 500 cc/min. However, MPCM slurries are required relatively longer period of time for their phase change than pure phase change materials. That is, the entrained MPCM particles restrict their heat transfer in terms of natural convection and conduction to them.

An experimental study was peformed to measure the viscosity of microencapsulated PCM slurries as the functions of its concentration and temperature, and also influence to its fluid dynamics. For the viscosity measurement, a rotary type viscometer, which was equipped with temperature control system, was adopted. The slurry was mixed with water and Sodium Lauryl Sulphate as a surfactant by which its suspended particles were dispersed well without the segregation of particles during the experiment. The viscosity was increased as the concentration of MicroPCM particle added. The surfactant increased 5% of the viscosity over the working fluid without particles. Experiments were proceeded by changing parameters such as PCM particles'concentration as well as the temperature of working fluid. As a result, a model to the functions of temperature for the working fluid and its particle concentration is proposed. The proposed model, for which its standard deviation shows 0.8068, is agreed well with the reference's data. The pressure drop was measured by U-tube manometer, and then the friction factor was obtained. It was noted that the pressure drop was not influenced by the state of PCM phase, that is solid or liquid in its core materials at their same concentration. On the other hand, it was described that the pressure drop of the slurry was much increased over the working fluid without particles. A friction factor was placed on a straight line in all working fluids of the laminar flow regardless of existing particles as we expected.

The objective of this research is to investigate the thermal behavior of microencapsulated phase-change materials(MEPCM), and a shell of melamine-formaldehyde. These PCM materials were tested using DSC and thermal data station. Fabrics with enhanced thermal properties were prepared by padding the fabrics with the microcapsules containing PCM and acryl binder. The rate of temperature increase was significantly decreased as the amount of MEPCM added on the surface of the fabrics increased.

본 논문에서는 난방용 축열보드에 응용하기 위해서 미세캡슐을 함유한 축열블럭의 열성능 특성을 조사하였다. 상변화 물질인 $CH_3COONa{\cdot}3H_2O$를 미세캡슐 형태로 제조하였고 미세캡슐 함유량이 각각 10%, 20%가 되도록 시멘트 몰타르와 혼합하여 축열블럭을 제작하였다. 축열블럭의 축열 및 방열 특성을 분석하기 위하여 유량과 유입 냉각 온도를 변화시켰다. 실험결과를 보면 미세캡슐 함유량이 증가할 수록 블럭에 축열되는 축열량은 증가를 하였고 방열시간도 증가를 하였다. 그리고 방열과정시 유량이 증가하고 유입 냉각온도가 감소함에 따라 방열시간은 감소하였다. 순수블럭(0% 미세캡슐 함유량)은 방열과정시 총괄 열전달 계수는 시간에 따라서 일정하게 유지를 하지만 축열블럭에서는 시간이 지남에 따라 증가를 하였다.

상변화물질(phase change material, PCM)은 외부온도변화에 따른 상변화에 따라 흡열과 방열성을 반복적으로 나타내는 물질로서 건축, 우주항공분야 등에서 열전달매체나 열조절시스템에 응용되어 왔다. 이러한 PCM의 응용방법은 PCM을 미세한 입자(직경이 약 100$\mu\textrm{m}$)로 만들어 직접 운반유체 속에 분산시켜 이용하거나, PCM을 심물질로 하는 마이크로캡슐을 제조하여 이용하는 방법을 들 수 있다. (중략)

The thermal conductivity and density of slurries entrained with the particles of Micro-PCM are measured with respect to its temperatures as well as concentrations. For the thermal conductivity of slurries, a device made from P.A. Hilton (Model No. H470) is adopted. There is a well-scaled 0.3 mm gap between shells into which the slurry is injected. The temperatures of the slurry are changed to $5~25^{\circ}C$ , for which it is controled by the supplied voltage and cooling water circulated around the outer shell. The concentrations of Micro-PCM slurries are varied from 5 wt% to 50 wt%. Some general equations such as Maxwell's equation, are evaluated for their applicability with Micro-PCM slurry. As a result, it happens to be some 20% discrepancy between the experiment and the applied equations. The density measurements of Micro-PCM slurry to its temperature and concentration are peformed by hydrometer. For the experiment, tetradecane encapsulated slurry (($t_m≒6^{\circ}C$) and a mixed wax ($t_m≒50^{\circ}C$) are tested. The temperature changes of tetradecane are applied for $0^{\circ}C\;to\;$20^{\circ}C$and a mixed wax for $20^{\circ}C\;to\;$60^{\circ}C$ and its concentrations are changed from 5 wt% to 30 wt%. The results are compared with a general equation and the referenced data. For the conclusion, the experimental result and a general equation are well agreed.

PCM has the ability to change their state, these materials absorb energy during the heating process as a body contact and release energy during a reverse cooling process as phase change take place. Using the thermal energy storage of PCM which has a melting point 15 to $35^{circ}C$ is one of the most effective ideas for utilization in textile finish. In this study, microencapsulated PCM(MCPCM) were synthesized by sol-gel method using the octadecane(or nonadecane) as PCM and the silica as microcapsule materials. To develop smart temperature adaptable textile, coating process was applied to textile substrate using a composition included MCPCM.

The synthesis of stearic acid composite phase change material (PCM) was investigated and the samples produced were characterized for use in latent heat storage, using a simple chemical sol-gel process. The PCM was encapsulated to tetraethyl orthosilicate by various preparation ratios of stearic acid (5, 10, 15, 20, 30 and 50%). Fourier transformation infrared spectroscope (FT-IR) and X-Ray diffraction (XRD) were performed to determine the chemical structure and crystalloid phase of the microencapsulated PCM. SATEOS1 (5%) shows the best proportion for the PCM. With the presence of stearic acid as core materials and SiO2 as the supporting materials, it does not show any chemical reaction between both of them. SATEOS1 shows promising potential for thermal energy storage as it shows a better encapsulation efficiency and good thermal stability.
