Abstract

Phase change materials are widely used for thermal energy storage media for different thermal energy storage applications ranging from building heating and cooling, transportation of heat-sensitive products, electronic cooling, solar water heaters, and waste heat recovery to concentrating solar power plants for their enhanced performance and efficiency. The precise measurement of thermophysical properties is essential for these phase change materials to design efficient thermal systems. The temperature-history (T-history) method has advantages over techniques like differential scanning calorimetry and differential thermal analysis, allowing for the evaluation of properties such as enthalpy, latent heat of fusion, solid and liquid phase specific heat, useful enthalpy in working temperature range, supercooling, and thermal stability. Despite its effectiveness, T-history remains laboratory-based, with no commercial system available, highlighting the need for advancements in experimental setups and analysis protocols since its inception.

表征相变材料热物理性质的温度历史方法：综述

相变材料由于其性能和效率的提高，被广泛应用于建筑采暖和制冷、热敏性产品运输、电子制冷、太阳能热水器、余热回收、聚光太阳能发电厂等不同的热能储存应用。热物理性质的精确测量对于这些相变材料设计高效的热系统至关重要。温度历史（T-history）方法比差示扫描量热法和差示热分析等技术具有优势，可以评估诸如焓、熔合潜热、固液相比热、工作温度范围内的有用焓、过冷性和热稳定性等特性。尽管它很有效，但T-history仍然是基于实验室的，没有商业系统可用，这突出了自其成立以来对实验设置和分析协议的改进需求。
