A shell and spiral type heat exchanger has been designed and fabricated for low temperature industrial waste heat recovery using phase change material. Paraffin wax (Melting Point 54 oC) was used as storage media due to its low cost and large-scale availability in Indian market.
Organic phase change materials (PCMs) are promising for sustainable energy due to their high storage capacity, broad temperature control, and minimal volume change during phase transitions.
Paraffins are useful as phase change materials (PCMs) for thermal energy storage (TES) via their melting transition, Tmpt. Paraffins with Tmpt between 30 and 60 °C have particular utility in improving the efficiency of solar energy capture systems and for thermal buffering of electronics and batteries.

Six PCMs studied are suitable for solar thermal and passive cooling applications. All essential thermophysical properties and thermal stability of PCMs are measured. Paraffin PCMs are found to be stable for over 3000 thermal cycles. The chemical compatibilities of PCMs with 17 different materials are reported.
These criteria may also be extended to paraffinic PCMs. Nowadays, paraffinic PCMs (PPCMs) are widely used as thermal energy storage materials, including solar energy storage systems, food industries, medical fields, electrical equipment protection, vehicles, buildings, automotive industries, etc. [24, 29, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85].
