PCM 2003 WORKSHOP
Mission
The First NZ Workshop on the use of Phase Change
Materials (PCM) for Thermal Storage in Buildings
and Other Applications (PCM 2003) will be hosted
by the Department of Chemical Materials
Engineering, School of Engineering, The
University of Auckland on 12th December 2003. The
scope of this full day workshop is wide ranging
covering technical aspects of thermal energy
storage in buildings and low temperature energy
storage in cold stores. Other applications of PCM
include solar energy, glass and green houses,
food packaging for extended distribution and
thermal managements of batteries, etc. Speakers
at the workshop will highlight the present status
and recent findings of PCM applications.

On behalf of the students and staff of the
Department of Chemical and Materials in the
School of Engineering at the University of
Auckland, I invite you to participate in the
First NZ Workshop on Phase Change Materials for
Thermal Storage in Buildings and Other
Applications (PCM 2003). We warmly invite
potential employers and professional
organisations in the engineering and technology
sectors to show tangible interest and to lend
their support to this workshop, either by
attending and/or sponsoring the workshop, to
encourage postgraduate students to disseminate
findings and ideas from their research studies.

A. Khudhair, M. M. Farid, J.J. Chen, and N.
Özkan Introduction Thermal storage through the
use of latent heat has been extensively studied
due to the large thermal storage capacity and
isothermal nature of the storage process.
Encapsulating suitable phase change materials
(PCMs) within the walls, ceiling and floor of
buildings has been directed to capture solar
energy directly and increase human comfort by
reducing the diurnal variation of indoor air
temperature and significantly reducing the
heating load at night. Indoor room temperature
may be maintained at not less than 18oC and not
more than 25oC at reasonable cost. The
investigation and analysis of thermal energy
storage systems incorporating PCMs for use in
building applications are the main objectives of
this project. Foundation for Research Science

d by
M. C. Smith , M. M. Farid and A. Easteal An
investigation into new microencapsulated phase
change materials is being undertaken. The process
of encapsulating salt hydrates is to be
developed. Microencapsulation is a process that
coats micron sized PCM particles with a stable
shell material. Once new microcapsules have been
produced and their properties characterised, they
will be tested in various applications. The aim
of this study is to produce a new phase change
material in the form of microcapsules. The use of
salt hydrates is to be investigated as there is
very little work in this area in the literature.
The thermal performance of the microcapsules will
be tested in various innovative applications.
