In recent years, the use of Phase Change Materials (PCMs) in thermal management systems (TMS) has garnered increased interest due to their high latent heat storage capacity, which enables effective ...

An international research team has designed a novel cooling system for PV modules involving a phase change material (PCM), heat sink fins, and water. The experimental system utilizes passive cooling, ...

Researchers at Politecnico di Torino in Italy are testing how latent heat thermal storage (LHTS) could be used in combination with rooftop PV to achieve nearly zero-energy buildings (NZEB). NZEBS are ...

PCMs leverage the principle of latent heat to function effectively. During the phase transition process, a PCM absorbs a substantial amount of latent heat from its environment, cooling the area as it ...

A recent article in the Journal of Energy Storage investigated the impact of non-linear porosity distributions in copper foam on the thermal performance and melting behavior of palmitic acid, a phase ...

The growing global energy demand and the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources have driven the need for efficient thermal energy storage solutions. Phase change materials (PCMs), known for ...
