Thermoregulatory Properties of Phase Change Microencapsulated Flocculus
摘要
To understand the effect of phase change microcapsules on the thermoregulation performance of flocculus, ordinary flocculus (OF) made of the same material without phase change materials (PCM) were used as the control group to investigate the effects of sample size, the presence of a hot plate, the number of layers of samples, and the ambient temperature on the thermoregulation performance. The flocculus thermoregulation experiments were carried out in a climate chamber, and the temperature changes of the samples were recorded using an air-contact temperature sensor. Finally, the thermoregulation performance of the phase change microcapsule flocculus was comprehensively evaluated using two indexes: the average temperature difference and heat-up/cool-down speeds. The results showed that the phase change flocculus (PCF) has a certain thermoregulation performance compared with the ordinary flocculus. In the heating–cooling cycle thermoregulation performance stability experiment, the average temperature difference of PCF decreased within 5%.
