Seven phase change materials (PCMs) including inorganic salt hydrates and wax with melting points in the range suitable for either absorption cooling (85/sup 0/C and above), active heating (35-60/sup 0/C), or passive space conditioning (20-30/sup 0/C) applications have been pressed into pellets about 12mm in diameter and then encapsulated with latex coating materials by a roll coating process. The objective of this effort is the development of reliable and cost effective PCMs. 7 refs.
