Sample text

Water, steel and stone are widely used sensible heat-storage materials. Water is the cheapest, most useful sensible heat-storage materials in the temperature interval from 1 °C to 99 °C at 1 standard atmosphere. 18 J/g. 2 Latent heat-storage materials Latent heat-storage materials are also called phase change materials (PCM). PCM can absorb or release heat with a slight temperature change. PCM may be repeatedly converted between solid and liquid phases to utilize their latent heat of fusion to absorb, store and release heat or cold during such phase conversions.

Material usually has three states. When a material converts from one state to another, this process is called phase change. There are four kinds of phase change, 1 solid to liquid, 2 liquid to gas, 3 solid to gas, 4 solid to solid. Heat is absorbed or released during the phase change process. The absorbed or released heat content is called latent heat. The PCM, which can convert from solid to liquid or from liquid to solid state, is the most frequently used latent heat-storage material in the manufacture of heat-storage and thermoregulated textiles and clothing.
