    This document presents information on bio-phase change materials (bio-PCMs) including their principle and working, types, selection criteria, incorporation methods, and applications. Bio-PCMs store and release large amounts of heat energy through their phase change from solid to liquid and back, providing thermal energy storage. Common types include paraffin compounds, salt hydrates, and eutectics which can be incorporated directly into building materials or through microencapsulation. Applications include use in building ceilings and walls, textiles, rolled mats, and automobile cabins to provide thermal regulation and comfort through latent heat transfer.

    PRESENTED BY-
    HEMANT KUMAR
    OVERVIEW

     INTRODUCTION
     PRINCIPLE & WORKING
     TYPES OF PCM
     MERITS & DEMERITS
     SELECTION CRITERIA
     PCM INCORPORATION
     APPLICATIONS OF PCM
    INTRODUCTION

    • The demand for comfort cooling is expanding much

    • Thermal energy storage is renewable source of energy to develop cooling system

    • Minimize ozone depletion and global warming

    • Requires less amount of energy for production

    • It can charge and discharge energy in the form of latent heat


    WHAT IS A PCM?

    A phase change material (PCM) is a substance presenting a high heat of fusion, and
    capable of storing and releasing large amounts of energy. Heat energy is absorbed or
    released when the material changes from solid to liquid phase and vice versa, thus, being
    classified as latent heat storage (LHS) units.
    PRINCIPLE AND WORKING

    • When heat is applied to any substance, it is transferred in two ways


     Sensible heat
     Latent heat
    • PCMs works on the principle of latent heat
    PRINCIPLE AND WORKING (Contd…)

    FIG: WORKING OF
    PCM
    TYPES OF PCM

    PCMs can be categorized as


    on the basis of latent heat of
    fusion and melting
    temperature
    TYPES OF PCM (Contd…)

    ORGANIC PCMs
    It melts and freeze frequently without phase separation that help to retain their latent heat of
    fusion
    PARAFFIN COMPOUNDS
    Mostly chain n-alkanes and with the increase in chain length of paraffin wax, melting point and
    latent heat of fusion increase
    • Paraffin’s and fatty acids do not expand as they melt, and freeze without much super cooling
    • They are chemically stable
    TYPES OF PCM (Contd…)

    • Paraffin’s are hydrophobic, which means they are water-repellant


    NON-PARAFFIN COMPOUND
    Non-paraffin have the advantage of higher heat of fusion but comes at the expense of higher
    cost
    TYPES OF PCM (Contd…)

    INORGANIC SALT HYDRATES

    • Salt hydrates are a low-cost, readily available PCM

    • They have a high latent heat storage capacity and high thermal conductivity

    • They are also non-flammable


    TYPES OF PCM (Contd…)

    EUTECTICS
    • These are combination of two or more components and shows minimum melting
    temperature. Eutectic almost melts and freezes without phase separation
    • Eutectics tend to be solutions of salts and water that have a phase change temperature
    below 0°C (32°F)
    SELECTION CRITERIA

    • A melting temperature in the desired operating temperature range


    • High latent heat of fusion per unit volume
    • Minimal changes in volume
    • Congruent melting
    • High specific heat, high density and high thermal conductivity
    SELECTION CRITERIA (Contd…)

    • A completely reversible freezing/melting cycle

    • Durability over a large number of cycles

    • Non-corrosiveness

    • Non-flammability
    MERITS AND DEMERITS

     MERITS

     Freeze without much supercooling


     Ability to melt congruently
     Self nucleating properties
     Compatibility with conventional material of construction
     No segregation
     Recyclable
    Contd…

     DEMERITS

     Low thermal conductivity in solid state


     Flammable
     Corrosive
     Volumetric latent heat storage capacity is low
     Phase segregation
    PCM INCORPORATION

    • Impregnated into building materials in 2 ways :

     Either directly or as pellets


     Microencapsulation

    • Microencapsulation most preferred always.


    PCM INCORPORATION (Contd…)

    FIG : DIRECT USAGE


    MICRO-ENCAPSULATION

    •Individual particles of solid/ liquid material are coated with a continuous film of
    polymeric material

    • Produce capsules called microcapsules


    • Microcapsules – small sphere with uniform wall round it
    • Micrometer to millimeter range
    • Polymer sphere shaped
    STRUCTURE OF MICROCAPSULE

    • Material inside is called core


    • Wall is called shell or coating
    APPLICATIONS OF PCM

    PCM AS CEILING MATERIAL

    • PCM incorporated into ceiling tiles-effective in controlling temperature, reducing


    reliance on air conditioning

    FIG: PCM CEILING


    APPLICATIONS OF PCM (Contd…)

    PCMs IN TEXTILES
    • Thermal comfort contributes to human performance
    • Heat generated by body is released into environment which further maintain the
    temperature of the body simultaneously
    APPLICATIONS OF PCM (Contd…)

    BIO PCM

    • A rolled mat that contains PCM

    • Integrated into new construction or retrofitted into existing

    • Mat is installed between insulation and drywall layers and located in walls and ceiling
    APPLICATIONS OF PCM (Contd…)

    PCM AS PLASTERBOARD
    • Phase change drywall incorporates PCM within its structure

    • Effective, less costly, and less bulky replacement of the standard thermal mass (masonry
    or water) used to store solar heat
    APPLICATIONS OF PCM (Contd…)

    PCM IN AUTOMOBILES
    • Temperature inside the automobile cabin
    should be maintain in order to maintain
    thermal comfort
    • By encapsulating PCM in automobile cabins
    we can control the temperature
    CONCLUSION

    • From the above presentation we can conclude that a suitable phase change temperature
    and a large latent heat of fusion is the most important requirement for any kind of PCM
    • Bio-PCM has tremendous potential to be used in different areas such as buildings, car,
    solar etc.
    • PCMs are used on daily basis through various applications in order to provide thermal
    comfort in every aspect.
