Abstract

<p> Moisture adsorption can degrade the structural integrity of thermal energy storage devices and can negatively impact the capacity and charging/discharging behavior. Steady-state and transient experiments are conducted at various operating temperatures to evaluate the moisture a&ffilig;nity of organic phase-change material (PCM) shape stabilized with high-density polyethylene (HDPE).</p>
