The Energy Storage Capacity of Phase-Change Materials Based on n -Alkanes

Experimental data obtained by the calorimetric method enable analyzing the energy storage capacity of phase-change materials based on n-alkanes. It is shown that a set of n-alkanes with the number of carbon atoms in the chain from 9 to 36 can be used to create comfortable living conditions for people in the temperature range from –50 to 70°C.
