Preparation and application of Na2CO3·10H2O-Na2HPO4·12H2O/SiO2 composite shape-stabilized phase change materials
The eutectic system was prepared from Na2CO3·10H2O(SCD)and Na2HPO4·12H2O(DHPD)phase change materials,and it was found that the eutectic system was formed when m(SCD)∶m(DHPD)= 4∶6 by a solidification point variation diagram construction and DSC test.FTIR and XRD results revealed that the crystal structure was changed though there was no chemical reaction between the two hydrated salts.Na2SiO3·9H2O with a mass fraction of 2%was added as nucleating agent to reduce the undercooling of the system.Meanwhile,the system showed no phase separation and only a 0.25%decrement in enthalpy after undergoing 50 cycles of phase transition.Furthermore,a shape-stablized phase change material(SSPCM)consisting of eutectic hydrate/SiO2 with a mass fraction of 25%was prepared by impregnation.The obtained SSPCM exhibited a phase transition temperature of 24.08℃,an enthalpy of 146.6 J/g,an undercooling of 0.55℃,and a thermal conductivity of 0.4571 W/(m⋅K).Compared with conventional insulation foam,the SSPCM extended the heating time to raise the simulated indoor core temperature by 1.81 times and prolonged the cooling time by 0.39 times.
