Description

Technical Field

[0002] Phase change energy storage technology is often used to improve energy efficiency. Phase change energy storage technology uses phase change energy storage materials to achieve phase change processes, which include the process of hydrated salts releasing crystal water during heating, and the process of inorganic salts combining with water to regenerate hydrated salts during cooling.
