254 B. Zalba et al. / Applied Thermal Engineering 23 (2003) 251–283Fig. 2. Classification of energy storage materials [1].which have been used, their classification, characteristics, advantages and disadvantages and thevarious experimental techniques used to determine the behaviour of these materials in melting andsolidification.2.1.1. Non-commercial/commercial materialsMany substances have been studied as potential PCMs, but only a few of them are commercialisedas so.Tables 1–6 present the different substances, eutectics and mixtures (inorganic, organic and fattyacids), that have been studied by different researchers for their potential use as PCMs. Some oftheir thermophysical properties are included (melting point, heat of fusion, thermal conductivityand density), although some authors give further information (congruent/incongruent melting,volume change, specific heat, etc.).Table 7 shows a list of the commercial PCMs available in the market with their thermophysicalproperties as given by the companies (melting point, heat of fusion and density), and the companywhich is producing them.2.1.2. Organic/inorganic materialsA comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of organic and inorganic materials is shownin Table 8.Notable among inorganic materials are hydrated salts and their multiple applications in thefield of solar energy storage [3,4]. In Chapter 1 of Lane [2] there is an extensive review of phasechange materials and especially hydrated salts. Chapter 3 of the same work covers the differenttypes of encapsulation and their compatibility with different materials.A significant number of authors have based their work on organic materials such as alkanes,waxes or paraffins [46–52]. Within organic materials, there is a class called MCPAM (Phasechange materials made up of molecular alloys), formed by alkane-based alloys which have the
