Abstract

A thermal energy storage heat exchanger can include a core defining a plurality of airflow passages to receive an air­stream therethrough. The core can be made of a composite of a phase change material shape-stabilized by a polymer. The phase change material can be structurally supported by the polymer and the phase change material can be config­ured to change phases to store energy from and deliver stored energy to the airstream when the airflow passes through the core.
