Abstract

This paper studies the insulation properties of masonry filling paraffin composite phase change material. With high density polyethylene (HDPE) as wrapping materials and solid-liquid mixing paraffin as phase change materials, solid-liquid mixed paraffin phase change material with different amount of admixture is prepared, and the problem of flowing after paraffin phase change is then solved. The phase change temperature and the phase change latent heat of composite phase change material with different amount of admixture are tested. The results showed that the composite material with 30% of 52 # solid paraffin, 70% of liquid paraffin, 70% of HDPE coating performs best as to the phase transition temperature and latent heat. On this basis, This paper studies the composite phase change wall with phase change materials 0%, 33%, 66% and100%. Results show that the composite phase change material wall’s heat preservation performance has significantly improved. the temperature fluctuation range of internal and external wall surface is 4.2 °C lower than unfilled wall.
