Review of phase change emulsions (PCMEs) and their applications in HVAC systems (2015)
Journal Article
Shao, J., Darkwa, J., & Kokogiannakis, G. (2015). Review of phase change emulsions (PCMEs) and their applications in HVAC systems. Energy and Buildings, 94, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2015.03.003

Phase change material emulsions (PCMEs) are multifunctional fluids consisting of phase change materials (PCMs) and carrier fluids. PCMEs could be potential candidates as heat transfer media in heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems....
