Abstract
In this contribution, the phase change materials based on linear low density polyethylene paraffin wax and expanded graphite were used as new energy storage system to study the heat transfer characteristics of paraffin wax during melting and solidification processes. Pronounced increase of thermal conductivity with increasing of expanded graphite content has been observed. Differencial scanning calorimetry was used for an estimation of the specific enthalpy of melting. The ability to store and release the thermal energy of Phase Change Materials were investigated by specific home-made equipment based on the transient hot guarded plane method.
