Solid-liquid phase change materials (PCMs) have been studied for decades, with application to thermal management and energy storage due to the large latent heat with a relatively low temperature or volume change.
ACT’s Phase Change Material heat sink calculator provides initial scoping estimates for your thermal storage requirements, including approximate volume, weight, and temperature profile. The expected transient performance for three different PCM options suitable for your application is plotted.
The calculator above estimates how much energy a given mass of PCM can store across a specified temperature range, accounting for both sensible heating and the phase transition itself. The calculation assumes that the material begins at an initial temperature below its melting point, is heated
This calculator determines the total thermal energy that can be stored by a phase change material (PCM) given its heat absorption capacity per gram and total mass. PCM Energy Storage Calculation: This calculation determines the total amount of thermal energy that can be stored by a phase change
