The main categorization of PCMs is the differentiation between inorganic PCMs and organic PCMS. The commonly used phase change materials for technical applications are: paraffins (organic), salt hydrates (inorganic) and fatty acids (organic) (IEA, 2005). Additionally,ice storage can be used for cooling applications.
