ORGANIC PCM

PCMs are organic compounds derived from animal fat and plant oils.

Their melt point temperatures range between -40C and 151C.

The most common biobased PCMs are derived from fatty acids and
have higher efficiency than salt hydrates and petroleum-based
phase change material.

NON-ORGANIC PCM

Consist of inorganic salts and water.

Their melt point temperatures range between 15C and 80C.

The advantages of Non Organic PCM are low material costs,
high latent heat storage capacity, precise melting point, high
thermal conductivity and inflammability.

EUTECTIC PCM
Typically, are derived from petroleum and have a waxy consistency
at room temperature. Their melt point temperatures range between
-8C and 40C. They have good thermal storage capacity and are
proven to freeze without supercooling.

PCM SELECTION
Depending on the applications, the PCMs should first
be selected based on their melting temperature.
Materials that melt below 15 C are used for storing
coolness in air conditioning applications, while
materials that melt above 90 C are used for
absorption refrigeration.
