Abstract
[en] Phase Change Materials (PCM) are promising materials for the thermal control of electronic components in space applications. This paper is an experimental study of the thermal properties of some PCM (paraffins and hydrated salts). The investigated properties are the thermal conductivity, the latent heat and the specific heat capacity. The first property was evaluated thanks to the Hot Disk method. The two last properties were evaluated thanks to the T-History method. The T-History experimental setup was designed and assembled in the CRM labs. A part of this work is also dedicated to the modeling of PCM heat storage accumulators. The devices, which include a metallic lattice structure, were modeled in SolidWorks.
