Resumen

The latent heat thermal energy storage technique is an efficient and reliable means of using phase change materials (PCMs) to store and release thermal energy, because of its large heat storage capacity, and the nearly isothermal phase change behaviour of PCMs. Many organic PCMs have been investigated as latent heat thermal energy storage materials. This work presents a study on some transport properties of two commercial bio-based PCM samples with melting temperatures of 46° C and 53° C, intended for low-temperature energy storage. The samples are mixtures of bio-based fatty acids. Experimental thermal conductivity was determined using a KD2 Pro Thermal Properties probe.
