Phase-change material in 2020s: Battery packs
Read the condition on Phase-change material before the nickname. Year 2020s, line “Battery packs,” figure 21. Knowing this timeline is how to read a mill certificate without treating Phase-change material as timeless.
This atlas treats Phase-change material as a system: mill route, coatings, tests and the cavity it sits in. Conductivity note: low-to-moderate; often needs fins or graphite. Insulation score 52/100 is relative to 32 entries — metals lose, VIPs and aerogels win. Fire letter in editorial use: paraffin = combustible; salts vary. Do not equate A1 with “safe in a blaze” or E with “illegal”. Assemblies decide.
Origin: NASA / Telkes 1940s–70s; building PCM 2000s, United States / Germany. The process chapter follows feedstock → conversion → forming → finish → install. Uses span buildings to defence / safety. Pairings matter: mineral-wool. Circularity mark 48/100. Ask which scrap, which certificate, which year.
Related atlas entries, a short glossary, and three threads that keep Phase-change material honest. EN 13501-1 reaction-to-fire letter (A1–F), not a wall rating. Thermal conductivity in W/m·K. Lower means better bulk insulation. Declared performance after blowing-agent or moisture drift.
The label keeps Phase-change material, 2020s, and 21. “Battery packs” is the condition on the figure.2020s
