thermal energy storage properties and thermal reliability of some fatty acid esters Building Material composites as novel form stable pcms
Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, 2012Co-Authors: Ahmet Sari, Alper BicerAbstract:Abstract In this study, thermal energy storage properties and thermal reliability some fatty acid esters/Building Material composites as novel form-stable phase change Materials (PCMs) were investigated. The form-stable composite PCMs were prepared by absorbing galactitol hexa myristate (GHM) and galactitol hexa laurate (GHL) esters into porous networks of diatomite, perlite and vermiculite. In composite PCMs, fatty acid esters were used as energy storage Materials while diatomite, perlite and vermiculite were used as Building Materials. The prepared composite PCMs were characterized using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Fourier transformation infrared (FT-IR) analysis techniques. The SEM results proved that the esters were well confined into the Building Materials. The maximum mass percentages of GHM adsorbed by perlite, diatomite and vermiculite were determined as 67, 55 and 52 wt%, respectively as they were found for GHL to be 70, 51 and 39 wt%, respectively. Thermal properties and thermal stabilities of the form-stable composite PCMs were determined using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis. The DSC results showed that the melting temperatures and latent heat values of the PCMs are in range of about 39–46 °C and 61–121 J/g. The thermal cycling test revealed that the composite PCMs have good thermal reliability and chemical stability. TG analysis revealed that the composite PCMs had high thermal durability property above their working temperature ranges. Moreover, the thermal conductivities of the PCMs were increased by adding the expanded graphite (EG) in mass fraction of 5%. Based on all results, it was also concluded that the prepared six composite PCMs had important potential for thermal energy storage applications such as solar space heating and cooling applications in Buildings.

Preparation and characterization of fatty acid ester/Building Material composites for thermal energy storage in Buildings
Energy and Buildings, 2011Co-Authors: Ali Karaipekli, Ahmet SariAbstract:In this study, fatty acid ester/Building Material composites as novel form-stable phase change Materials (PCMs) were prepared by absorbing liquid fatty acid esters into porous network of conventional Building Materials. In the composite erythritol tetrapalmitate (ETP) and erythritol tetrastearate (ETS) esters were used as PCM for thermal energy storage, and cement and gypsum used as supporting Material. The composite PCMs were characterized using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Fourier transformation infrared (FT-IR) analysis technique. The SEM results showed that the esters were confined in the porous network of the cement and gypsum. Thermal properties and thermal stabilities of the composite PCMs were determined by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermal gravimetric (TG) analysis techniques. DSC results showed that the melting temperatures and the latent heats of the prepared composite PCMs were in range of 21.6-32.3 °C and 35.9-43.3 J/g, respectively. TG analysis indicated that the composite PCMs had good thermal stability. The thermal cycling test including 1000 heating and cooling process was conducted to determine the thermal reliability of the composite PCMs and the test results revealed that the composite PCMs have good thermal reliability and chemical stability. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

aggregate Material formulated with mswi bottom ash and apc fly ash for use as secondary Building Material
Waste Management, 2013Co-Authors: R Del Vallezermeno, J. Formosa, Josep Maria Chimenos, M. Martinez, A I FernandezAbstract:Abstract The main goal of this paper is to obtain a granular Material formulated with Municipal Solid Waste Incineration (MSWI) bottom ash (BA) and air pollution control (APC) fly ash to be used as secondary Building Material. Previously, an optimum concrete mixture using both MSWI residues as aggregates was formulated. A compromise between the environmental behavior whilst maximizing the reuse of APC fly ash was considered and assessed. Unconfined compressive strength and abrasion resistance values were measured in order to evaluate the mechanical properties. From these results, the granular mixture was not suited for certain applications owing to the high BA/APC fly ash content and low cement percentages used to reduce the costs of the final product. Nevertheless, the leaching test performed showed that the concentrations of all heavy metals were below the limits established by the current Catalan legislation for their reutilization. Therefore, the Material studied might be mainly used in embankments, where high mechanical properties are not needed and environmental safety is assured.

Textile waste as an alternative thermal insulation Building Material solution
Construction and Building Materials, 2013Co-Authors: Ana Briga-sá, David Nascimento, Nuno Teixeira, Jorge Pinto, Humberto Varum, Filipe Caldeira, Anabela PaivaAbstract:The adoption of more sustainable behaviors, particularly in what concerns to the reduction of energy consumption and the emissions of greenhouse gases, is nowadays a priority. The construction sector is one of the key areas of intervention, which carries a high consumption of resources such as Materials, energy, and water. Thus, it is essential to adopt more efficient actions during all stages of the construction process, including the use of more sustainable Materials. The reuse of different types of waste in the construction or rehabilitation of Buildings can contribute significantly to sustainability. In this research work, the potential applicability of woven fabric waste (WFW) and a waste of this residue, named woven fabric subwaste (WFS), as thermal insulation Building Material was studied. Experimental work was conducted using an external double wall, with the air-box filled with these two types of waste, to determine their thermal characteristics. Two heat flowmeters and four surface temperatures sensors were placed on the wall surface to determine the thermal conductivity of the wastes. The obtained results show that the application of the WFW and WFS in the external double wall increases its thermal behavior in 56% and 30%, respectively. The thermal conductivity value of the WFW is similar to the values obtain for expanded polystyrene (EPS), extruded polystyrene (XPS) and mineral wool (MW). The value of this parameter for the WFS is approximately equal to the values for granules of clay, vermiculite or expanded perlite. Therefore, applying these wastes as a possible thermal insulation Material seems to be an adequate solution. Environmental, sustainable and economical advantages may result from this practice. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
