Research Progress in the Application of Paraffin-based Phase Change Materials in Heat Storage Materials
As a secondary use of thermal energy,heat storage technology has become a new way to save energy.There are many types of energy storage technologies,and phase change heat storage technology is one of the simple and efficient heat storage methods.Phase change heat storage technology uses the latent heat absorbed or released when the phase change material undergoes a phase change to store heat,and the system temperature is approximately constant during the heat exchange process.As the core part of phase change heat storage technology,the application of phase change energy storage materials in the field of thermal energy storage technology has attracted more and more attention.In this paper,the classification of heat storage technology was introduced as well as the advantages and disadvantages of various heat storage technologies.The classification of paraffin-based composite phase change materials and the research status of their application in the field of heat storage were summarized,as well as the problems existing in their application,and finally the research direction of paraffin-based phase change materials was prospected.
