Experimental Heat Transfer Analysis of Different PCM Material Used in Concrete Wall

A phase-change material (PCM) is a substance with a high heat of fusion which, on melting and solidifying at a certain temperature, is capable of storing and releasing large amounts of energy. PCMs are regarded as a possible solution for reducing the energy consumption of buildings. For raising the building inertia and stabilizing the indoor climate, PCMs are more useful because of its nature of storing and releasing heat within a certain temperature range. Phase change materials (PCM) are ‘‘latent’’ thermal storage materials possessing a large amount of heat energy stored during its phase change stage .The energy required to change the phase of a substance is known as latent heat. In this paper we are using PCM integrated into building materials for thermal energy storage applications, and much attention has been given to works concerned with the achievement and assessment of applying PCM in concrete wall. Because concrete have high specific heat capacity as well as the thermal conductivity which will eventually affect their thermal performance. In this we are using two PCM material integrated into concrete namely paraffin wax and beewax. After that we take reading of temperature by using temperature sensor. We are also comparing temperature of each PCM material with concrete by using graphical representation. The main objective of PCM integrated with concrete is that Analyse Or To Determine How Much Temperature Of Wall Can Be Reduced By Using PCM Material In Concrete Wall and To Reduce Energy Required For Heating, Cooling And Ventilation Of Buildings.
