Applications of phase change materials include, but are not limited to:
* Thermal energy storage, such as the FlexTherm Eco by Flamco.
* Solar cooking
* Cold Energy Battery
* Conditioning of buildings, such as ice-storage
* Cooling of heat and electrical engines
* Cooling: food, beverages, coffee, wine, milk products, green houses
*Delaying ice and frost formation on surfaces
* Medical applications: transportation of blood, operating tables, hot-cold therapies, treatment of birth asphyxia
* Human body cooling under bulky clothing or costumes.
* Waste heat recovery
* Off-peak power utilization: Heating hot water and Cooling
* Heat pump systems
* Passive storage in bioclimatic building/architecture (HDPE, paraffin)
* Smoothing exothermic temperature peaks in chemical reactions
* Solar power plants
* Spacecraft thermal systems
* Thermal comfort in vehicles
* Thermal protection of electronic devices
* Thermal protection of food: transport, hotel trade, ice-cream, etc.
* Textiles used in clothing
* Computer cooling
* Turbine Inlet Chilling with thermal energy storage
* Telecom shelters in tropical regions. They protect the high-value equipment in the shelter by keeping the indoor air temperature below the maximum permissible by absorbing heat generated by power-hungry equipment such as a Base Station Subsystem. In case of a power failure to conventional cooling systems, PCMs minimize use of diesel generators, and this can translate into enormous savings across thousands of telecom sites in tropics.
