2. What are PCMs?
Phase change materials are compounds which melt and solidify at certain temperatures and in doing so are capable of absorbing, storing and releasing large amounts of energy.  They take advantage of latent heat.
Water / Ice
Thermal energy storage
Characteristics of a good PCM
Freeze and melt at a desired temperature
Freeze and melt in a narrow temperature range
Similar melting and freezing points
High latent heats
Types of PCM’s
Paraffin / Waxes
Salts/ Salt Hydrates
Fats and Oils

14. A little math… 1 gallon of primer contains 0.96 kg mPCMs
20’ x 12’ x 8’ room has 72 kg air
mPCM Lf = 180 kJ/kg
ΔE = m * Lf or (2.88 kg)(180kJ/kg) = kJ …using 3 gallons of primer
ΔT = ΔE / m * Cp, or kJ/72 kg * 1 kJ/kg = 7.2°C
A difference of 7.2°C

15. A little more math…
A small window AC unit produces about 5500 Btu per hour of heat reduction
US Dept. of Energy estimates about 20 Btu’s needed per square foot of space to be cooled
1 Btu = 1.06 kJoules
The kJ of energy storage in the Primer of previous slide equals about 10% of the total heat reduction power of the above AC unit
This translates to the equivalent of 6 minutes per hour of cooling, just due to the passive interaction of the microPCMs in the Primer

16. PCM Panel Study
In 2007/2008 Phase Change Energy Solutions partnered with the Arizona Public Service (APS) to create an experimental setup to test the performance of PCES’s ENRG Blanket product. This experiment did not have internal gains from lights/people/equipment so was effectively an envelope only test.
For envelope loads only the results of a maximum energy savings of about 30%, a maximum peak load shift of ~ 60 min, and maximum cost savings of about 30% are quite impressive.  Note: Actual buildings with internal loads may experience larger benefits.
The study focused on the kWh usage, HVAC run-time and attic temperatures between the dates of 12/14/2007 and 1/24/08 due to the average temperatures for the Phoenix Arizona climate. During this period the control building consumed 240 kWh and the BioPCMTM Building consumed 177 kWh Savings, a 26% reduction. Publications of this experimental setup can be downloaded from these searches:
