FAQS about Singapore phase change material storage

How can phase change materials help in energy cooling solutions?

One of the many effective approach in energy cooling solutions would be the storage and conversion of thermal energy to maintain the appropriate temperature. Our research group specializes in phase change materials (PCMs) to help channel and store waste heat so as to bring about the cooling effect to the respective application.

Are phase change materials suitable for thermal energy storage?

Phase change materials (PCMs) having a large latent heat during solid-liquid phase transition are promising for thermal energy storage applications. However, the relatively low thermal conductivity of the majority of promising PCMs (<10 W/ (m ⋅ K)) limits the power density and overall storage efficiency.

Where is phase change material thermal energy storage system installed?

The Phase-Change Material thermal energy storage system co-developed by NUS has been installed at Keppel DHCS’ Changi Business Park District Cooling Systems plant. Photo credit: Keppel DHCS

What is a phase change material?

Phase Change material products replace grease as the interface between power devices and heat sinks. Loctite dispensable and printable phase change thermal compounds create a significantly thinner bondline and lower thermal resistance as compared to other formats.

What is a phase change material (PCM)?

Development of novel organic, inorganic and eutectic phase change materials (PCM) with tunable working temperature range, optimal thermal conductivity and long effective cooling duration. Property enhancement of existing PCM catering to the needs of different industries such as cold chain transportation, green building etc.

Can PCMS reduce cooling loads of buildings in Singapore?

As a result, the energy savings in daytime outweigh the energy penalties at night for the bench mark study, which suggests the addition of PCMs has a good potential to reduce the cooling loads of buildings in Singapore climate.
