Microencapsulated phase change materials slurries (MEPCM slurries) have the advantage that they can be used as heat transport and storage medium, and therefore provide improved continuity of energy transport. Energy transportation capability of a MEPCM slurry based on Rubitherm RT6 through a cold storage-air handling system was investigated for various concentrations and pump powers. The transport properties of the MEPCM have been identified. The optimum concentration for maximum energy transportation capability and energy transportation effectiveness of the system has been found. This investigation is intended for determination of the optimum concentration of MEPCM slurry for an air conditioning system that uses MEPCM slurry as a secondary cooling medium directly into air handling units and stored for load shifting.
