Thermal Performance of Microencapsulated Phase Change Material (mPCM) in Roof Modules during Daily Operation

This study combines microencapsulated phase change materials (mPCMs) (core material: paraffin; melting points: 37 and 43 °C) and aluminum honeycomb boards (8 mm core cell) to form mPCM roof modules and investigates their heat absorption and release performances, as well as their impact on indoor hea...
