Popis: 4th International Conference on Solar Heating and Cooling for Buildings and Industry (SHC) -- DEC 02-04, 2015 -- Istanbul, TURKEY WOS:000387506400117 Inorganic salt hydrates are promising candidates as latent heat storage materials entailing, for example, a high thermal energy storage density and cheap price [1,2] in spite that they have many handicaps. For almost all applications, Phase change materials (PCMs) have to be encapsulated, that is, they have to be hermetically sealed within barrier containments, preferably within small microcapsules. Encapsulation improves heat transfer, cycling stability, and material compatibility with the environment. However, no attempt has been completely successful to microencapsulate salt hydrates so far due to the high surface polarities of these substances, edge alignment effects, their tendency to alter their water content [3]. This work is aimed to encapsulate some commonly used salt hydrates; sodium sulphate decahydrate (Na2SO4 center dot 10H(2)O) and calcium chloride hexahydrate (CaCl2 center dot 6H(2)O) in a hydrophilic polymer; polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) stably for passive thermal energy storage systems. So that an economically beneficial application mean will be validated. (C) 2016 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
