Research progress of phase change materials in the field of facility agriculture
The energy-saving and consumption reduction technologies are the key to the green and low-carbon upgrades of the facility agriculture.Latent heat storage technology is promising in applications in the fields of facility agriculture,like solar thermal utilization,greenhouse walls,and soil insulation due to its high thermal storage density and excellent temperature control performance.This paper provided an overview of the main types and physicochemical properties of phase change materials(PCMs),and introduced the forms and preparation methods of three PCMs that suitable for facility agriculture:macro-encapsulated,shaped-stabilized,and encapsulated PCMs.It then summarized the application of PCMs in facility agriculture files from the perspectives of active and passive latent heat storage systems.Finally,the paper highlighted the future development directions of PCMs in facility agriculture field,including improving the performance of PCMs,optimizing latent heat storage systems,and intelligent indoor environmental control for facility agriculture.
