Abstract

This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the most common applications of PCMs. These include thermal management of electronics, concentrating solar power, energy storage in building materials, solar thermal heating systems, space-based applications, textile designs, heat exchangers and packed bed technology. Each application is presented in depth with a clear explanation of how PCMs are implemented and with a discussion of advantages and challenges in each case.
