Description
Phase Change Materials (PCM) offer the possibility to store thermal energy directly as latent heat of fusion. This old principle is now coming on the scene due to its numerous advantages: stability of temperature control, absence of moving parts, reduced radiator size, reduced housekeeping power.
Advanced manufacturing techniques allow now to propose low-cost solutions. Adaptation to tricky volumes is also an advantage. The main benefits and challenges of series production are presented together with some practical applications.
