Comprehensive overview of phase change materials in electronics, building, and solar applications
(2026)
Phase change materials (PCMs) are a viable way to improve energy efficiency and thermal control in a variety of sectors. With an emphasis on their function in thermal control, this review article offers an in-depth review of PCM applications in electronics, buildings and solar energy systems. PCMs are used in electronics to control device temperatures, which lowers the risk of overheating and increases operational efficiency by 10% to 25%. Through latent heat storage and release in reaction to temperature changes, PCMs are incorporated into walls, floors, and roofs in building applications to improve thermal comfort and cut energy use by 15% to 30%. By storing thermal energy for steady power generation, PCMs increase the dependability and efficiency of solar energy systems by 8%–20%. This review examines the basic ideas behind PCMs, assesses various PCM (such as organic, inorganic, and eutectic PCMs), and details about real-world applications in these energy management fields. Important issues are examined, such as material compatibility, cost-effectiveness, and long-term stability. In order to maximize performance in these crucial applications, the conclusion emphasizes the need for improvements in cost-effective PCM formulations for the improved thermal conductivity (0.2–0.7 W m−1·K−1), and adaptive control systems.
Lessons Learned: On the Potentials and Challenges of a Model Predictive Controlled DHN Heat Supply
(2023)
Cutting of stalk material is a core process within the whole harvesting period. During the entire harvesting, every stalk is cut at least one time. For other agricultural processes, such as grain crop harvesting or mulching of brownfields, cutting processes belong also to the main techniques. They have a significant influence on the efficiency and profitability of agricultural machines. Minimizing wear has a high level of importance regarding an environmental friendly and resource efficient agriculture. Wear during agricultural cutting processes is mainly caused due to abrasion and impact stress. Blunt and deformed blades affect the energy efficiency and the cutting quality. The increase of fuel consumption and frequent machine breakdowns with an involvement of high labor and material costs generate considerable economic losses. A consequent, methodical optimization of the wear behavior of the blades can offer a high saving potential of ecological and economic resources. The blade geometry, base material and heat respectively surface treatment substantially determine the wear resistance. Under technological and economic considerations these parameters have to be optimized. Therefore, a test method has been developed at the FMDauto in cooperation with the Ennepetaler Schneid- und Mähtechnik (ESM) GmbH & Co KG. The test bench enables to test different blades of agricultural machines under standardized and repeatable conditions. This paper presents the test bench and the results of several wear tests. The examinations of the abrasive wear and the impact stress on cutter blades are shown. Algorithms developed at FMDauto are used to analyze the results. It is carried out that further developments of the analyzing methods to describe the sharpness and disruptions of cutter blades are reasonable.
