Abstract
Phase change materials (PCM) are innovative solutions of thermal energy storage. The research is devoted to the fabrication of this material, by combining a mixture of fatty acids for the PCM and a compressed expanded graphite matrix (CEG). The manufacturing method consists of compressing expanded graphite in a 10 cm wide cube, then incorporating the PCM by capillarity into the matrix. The material fabrication (mass fraction of each constituent, expected density) is based on a previous theoretical study. Tests are run on the PCM thermal behaviour (phase change temperature) and conductivity measurements are made. A thermal conductivity of approximately 24 W:m1:K1 is observed for the complete material. This value is coherent with the theoretical study previsions that defined a minimal thermal conductivity for a commercial use of the material.
