Moisture affinity of HDPE/phase-change material composites for thermal energy storage applications

Abstract

Moisture adsoprtion can degrade the structural integrity of thermal energy storage devices and can negatively impact the capacity and charging/discharging behaviour. Steady-state and transient experiments are conducted at various operating temperatures to evaluate the moisture affinity of organic phase-change material (PCM) shape stabilized with high-density polyethylene (HDPE).
