The ice storage system uses water for low temperature latent heat storage. However, a refrigerator capacity is increased and COP is decreased due to supercooling of water in the course of phase change from solid to liquid. This study investigates the cooling characteristics of the TMA-water clathrate compound including TMA (Tri-methyl-amine, $(CH_3)_3N)$ of $20{\sim}25wt%$ as a low temperature latent heat storage material. The results showed that the phase change temperature and the specific heat is increased and the supercooling degree is decreased as the weight concentration of TMA increased. Especially, the clathrate compound containing TMA 25wt% has the average phase change temperature of $5.8^{\circ}C$, the supercooling degree of $8.0^{\circ}C$ and the specific heat of 3.499 kJ/kgK in the cooling process. This can lead to reduction of operation time of refrigerator in low temperature latent heat storage system and efficiency improvement of refrigerator COP and overall system. Therefore, energy saving and improvement of utilization efficiency are expected.

Mixtures type PCM, $H_2O$-NaOH that has relatively large capacity of the latent heat and long duration of phase change temperature was developed and experimentally analyzed for the low temperature storage of the food and medical products. The results could be summarized as follows; 1. Borax as nucleating agent and acrylic polymer as thickening agent were added to $H_2O$ to prevent the supercooling and phase separation. 2. Phase change (solid$\leftrightarrows$liquid) duration of $H_2O$ added with NaOH was prolonged longer 50% than that of pure $H_2O$. 3. Phase change temperature of the latent heat material, $H_2O$-NaOH was $1.5\sim2^{\circ}C$ the maximum latent Heat was 279 kJ/kg at the NaOH addition of 1.3 wt.%. 4. The specific heat of $H_2O$-NaOH at the solid and liquid state was increased in proportion to the wt.% of NaOH, when NaOH of $1.15\sim1.60$ wt.% was added to $H_2O$, the specific heat of the solid state was increased from 3.19 kJ/kg to 5.84 kJ/kg and that of liquid state from 7.8 kJ/kg to 10.28 kJ/kg. 5. When NaOH of $1.15\sim1.60$ wt.% was added to $H_2O$, the total heat storage capacity composed of sensible and latent heat was $313\sim331.3$ kJ/kg and the maximum heat storage capacity was occurred at NaOH addition of 1.30 wt. %.

Clathrate compound is the material that host in hydrogen bond forms cage and guest is included into it and combined. Crystallization of hydrate is generated at higher temperature than that of ice from pure water. And physical properties according to temperature are stable and congruent melting phenomenon is occurred without phase separation. But clathrate compound still had supercooling problem occurred in the course of phase change and supercooling should be minimized because it affects efficiency of equipment very much. Therefore, various studies on additives to restrain this or heat storage methods are needed. In this study was investigated the cooling characteristics of the TMA-water clathrate compound including TMA (Tri-methyl-amine, $(CH_3)_3N)$ of 20${\sim}$25 wt% as a low temperature latent heat storage material. And ethanol$(CH_3CH_2OH)$ was added and its cooling characteristics were studied experimentally to restrain supercooling of TMA-water clathrate compound.

A microcapsule water slurry is a latent heat-storage material having a low melting point. In this study, the thermal properties of a microcapsule water slurry are measured. The physical properties of the test microcapsule water slurry, i.e., thermal conductivity, specific heat, latent heat, and density, are measured, and the results are discussed for the temperature region of solid and liquid phases of the dispersion material (paraffin). It is clarified that Eucken's equation can be applied to the estimation of the thermal conductivity of the microcapsule water slurry. Useful correlation equations of the thermal properties of the microcapsule water slurry are proposed in terms of the temperature and concentration ratio of the microcapsule water slurry constituents.

빙축열시스템은 저온잠열저장을 위해 물을 사용한다. 그러나 물은 액체에서 고체로 상변화를 하는 과정에서 물의 과냉각 현상에 의하여 냉동기의 냉동용량 증가와 COP감소의 원인이 되고 있다. 본 연구는 저온잠열축열물질로 적용 가능한 TMA(Tri-methyl-amine, $(CH_3)_3N$) 20~25 wt%를 포함하고 있는 TMA-물계 포접화합물(TMA-water clathrate compound)의 냉각특성에 대한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 실험적 연구 결과, TMA 질량농도가 높을수록 상변화온도는 증가하였고, 과냉각도와 비열은 감소하였다. 특히, TMA 25wt%를 포함하고 있는 포접화합물은 냉각과정동안 평균 상변화온도 $5.8^{\circ}C$와 과냉각도 $8.0^{\circ}C$, 액상유지시간 651sec 및 비열 3.499 kJ/kgK로서 다른 TMA 농도보다 양호한 냉각특성을 나타내었다. 이와 같이 저온잠열축열물질로서 TMA 25wt%-물계 포접화합물을 적용하는 것이 유리할 것으로 판단된다.

Heat transfer characteristics of a low temperature latent heat storage system during the heat storage stage was examined for the circular finned tubes using fatty acid which shows the big density difference during melting as phase change materials. The heat storage vessel has the dimension of 530 mm height, 74 mm inside diameter and inner heat transfer tube is 480 mm in height and 13.5 mm outside diameter. Hot water was employed as the heat transfer fluid. During the heat storage stage, it was found that both conduction and natural convection were the major heat transfer mechanism. It was also found that the effect of natural convection on the heat transfer was more significant for the unfinned tube system than that for the finned tube system. The experimentally determined overall heat transfer coefficients were in the range of $50{\sim}250W/m^2K$ and the correlation for natural convection heat transfer as a function of Nusselt and Rayleigh number was proposed.

Cycle test for developed phase change material (PCM) is necessary in order to assess the variation of latent heat, which decreases with time by deterioration. T-history method and measurement using heat-flux meter are appropriate for the cycle test in a tube filled with PCM because they do not need an extraction of sample in measuring heat of fusion. In the present study, these methods were applied to a PCM having a melting point below a room temperature, different to the past studies for PCMs melting above a room temperature. As a result of experiment using pure water as specimen, we can obtained rea-sonable values for heat of fusion.

Heat transfer phenomena in a high-temperature heat storage unit were investigated using molten salts. Carbonate salt, an equimolar mixture of $Li_2CO_3$ and $K_2CO_3$, which melts at $505^{\circ}C$ with a latent heat of 82 cal/g, was selected as the most promising latent heat storage material based on its low cost and excellent thermophysical properties at moderately high temperatures. It was also found that nitrate salts were good candidates of sensible heat storage materials. For the carbonate salt to be utilized commercially, however, several means of enhancing thermal recovery must be explored by promoting heat conduction through the solid salt formed during the heat discharge period. These would be achieved by the additions of aluminum screens and wool, and stainless fins. Finally, experimental results of moving boundary of phase change were well compared with predictied values obtained from the approximate solution.
