5. Applications of phase-change materials
The main applications for phase-change materials are in heating and cooling buildings.
5.1 Selection criteria
The main selection criteria to be taken into account, particularly in the case of building applications - by far the most numerous today - are as follows:
melting temperature in accordance with application ;
high latent heat ;
high density ;
low cost ;
low hazard, environmental compatibility ;
stability over time ;
reliability of containment materials ;
low undercooling....
