Thermal Characterization of <i>Pinus radiata</i> Wood Vacuum-Impregnated with Octadecane

The incorporation of phase change materials (PCM) in construction components has become an alternative to reduce the effect of thermal loads in buildings with low thermal inertia. This study put together the effective heat storage capacity of an organic phase change material (O-PCM, octadecane) with...
