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, see www.mt.com/ta-libraries .
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.
