Abstract |
This study was performed to investigate the phase change temperature, the supercooling, the maintenance time of liquid phase and the change rate of volume of TMA 30 wt% clathrate compound with additives. TMA 30 wt% clathrate compound with additive was cooled at heat source temperature of -6℃. The additives are ethylene glycol and chloroform. Their concentration are 0.1 wt% respectively. The experimental results showed that the phase change temperature was not affected by additives and this was average 5.3℃. Also the supercooling and the maintenance time of liquid phase were decreased by additives. Especially, the average value of supercooling showed by 8.8℃ and the maintenance time of liquid phase was by 19 minutes in the case of chloroform 0.1wt%. Additionally, the average change rate of volume showed by 1.26~1.31% according to additives and the volume was decreased by the phase change from liquid to solid. |
