7.1.1 Phase change material

As spherical nodules are used in large quantities, nodules containing aqueous phases have been developed almost exclusively. These have the advantage of high latent heat at moderate cost. Thus, the PCM contained in the nodule is either water alone or a eutectic solution whose melting temperature has been shown above to be constant. Other monovariant systems are used, such...
