Abstract: Provided herein are form stabilized phase change materials and methods of their manufacture. Form stabilized phase change material compositions comprise porous particulate carriers impregnated with at least one phase change material. The particulate carriers are of a specific size range depending on the density and loading capacity of the particles. Exemplary carriers include expanded perlite with a particle size of greater than approximately 0.5 millimeters. In some examples, the products may have phase change material at 40% or more of the final composition by volume. Additionally, methods of manufacturing the form stabilized phase change materials are provided, and exemplary building materials and shipping containers are provided.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods of producing manufactured aggregates and other compositions from an encapsulated PCM slurry, suspension or emulsion by combining a cementitious binder and a adsorbent and/or absorbent with the PCM slurry. The encapsulated PCM-containing composition can be produced in an agglomeration process. The ingredients can also be mixed to form a viscous mass which can be extruded or otherwise formed to produce useful products.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods of producing manufactured aggregates and other compositions from an encapsulated PCM slurry, suspension or emulsion by combining a cementitious binder and an adsorbent and/or absorbent with the PCM slurry. The encapsulated PCM can be introduced as damp cake or dry form as alternatives to the liquid forms. Fire resistant aggregates can be produced in an agglomeration process. The ingredients can also be mixed to form a viscous mass which can be extruded or otherwise formed to produce useful products.
