摘要
Usage of thermo-regulative phase change material (PCM) doped polyurethane (PU) foam (PU-PCM) as a building component in cold storage can promote electricity saving in terms of cooling load reduction through utilizing its mutual advantage of insulation as well as thermal energy storage property of PU & PCM respectively. The current review demonstrates the suitable synthesis approaches of PU-PCM that are applicable for perishable food cold storage temperature range (specifically for -10 degrees C to 15 degrees C), optimization of PU-PCM's component in production step, performance evaluation approaches, future research scope. Synthesis of PU-PCM composite by direct method suffers from lower thermal cycling ability, and leakage problem of molten PCM; hence the indirect way of PU-PCM synthesis, i.e., encapsulated -PCM (EPCM) incorporating into PU matrix will be the better option to counteract the deficiency of direct method. Organic-inorganic hybrid shell-based EPCM with the paraffinic core of phase transition range -10 degrees C to 15 degrees C would be suitable for this purpose due to their better thermal reliability and good adhesion to the PU matrix & better balancing of thermal conductivity. Encapsulation methods of PCM core, size of EPCM, EPCM contents in PU matrix directly influence the properties of PU-PCM and the energy performance of cold storage.
