<p>A heat storage material functioning by phase conversion using its latent heat, consists of paraffin wax particles coated with a plastics, metal foil or glass film, with a fluid, e.g. water, filling the spaces between the particles. Used in hot water, central heating and solar energy storage systems. Heat storage and release takes place over a narrow temp. range and heat transfer occurs by convection, with only short paths through the coating dependent on conduction.</p> |
