We would like to thank our partners
for their valuable contributions and support!
Companies and Accredited Laboratories
Universities and Research Institutions
Databases and Libraries
Mettler-Toledo GmbH Contact: Dr. Andreas Bach
METTLER TOLEDO supports slPCMlib by providing a large quantity of
thermophysical measurements for pure PCM.
Thanks to its contribution, we have received more than 50 organic and inorganic
PCM. The data processing and its integration in slPCMlib is currently ongoing.
A large database of PCM properties
is available for METTLER TOLEDO´s customers, who purchase their calorimetry
equipment,

Croda
Branch office: Croda Ibérica SAU
Contact: Dr. Jon Vilasau
Croda supports slPCMlib by providing thermophysical
measurements of their biobased PCM waxes in micro- and macro-encapsulated form.
Croda shares with slPCMlib specific information and valuable inputs
on their measurement methods which are developed
according to the RAL standard.
AIT Laboratory for Thermophysics Contact: Dr. Daniel Lager
The AIT Laboratory for Thermophysics supports slPCMlib as an accredited
testing laboratory (EN ISO/IEC 17025) providing valuable knowledge
on material characterization methods.
Research group Applied Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer (ATHT)
Contact: Prof. Michel De Paepe
The Research group Applied Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer (ATHT)
at the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture of Ghent University
supports slPCMlib with valuable inputs to the numerical modeling
of heat transfer problems with phase change, solution methods and
code development for Ansys Fluent. Our special thanks go to
Dr. Wim Beyne and Maité Goderis!
thermalmaterials.org Contact: Dipl.-Biol. Stefan Gschwander
The open-source database thermalmaterials.org contains thermophysical
measurements and properties of phase change materials (PCM),
sorption and thermochemical materials (TCM),
which has been generated according to
measurement standards developed within the
framework of the IEA ECES Annex 29 and SHC Task 42. The database
is developed and maintained by the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems.
We acknowledge the collaboration and many discussions on material properties,
standards and data processing methods.
