Abstract
This chapter covers fundamentals for the application of PCM for different systems and products. The chapter starts with an introduction into heat transfer mechanisms by analytical and numerical models. Then different designs for storages are discussed including their advantages and disadvantages with respect to liquids and gases as heat transfer medium. The chapter ends with a presentation of the different PCM measurement technologies. These technologies are DSC for small samples, and T -history method for bigger samples. In situ measurement will also be commented.
