1. Introduction. Sensible heat storage using water is the most widely used technology of energy storage; however, nowadays phase change materials (PCMs) are more frequently utilised in the low and high temperature applications [1,2].The PCM heat storage utilises the process of the phase transition between a solid and a liquid to store thermal energy.

PCMs have extensive application potential, including the passive thermal management of electronics, battery protection, short- and long-term energy storage, and energy conversion.

A Phase Change Material (PCM) stores heat or cold automatically and releases it when indoor or outdoor temperatures rise or fall beyond the phase change point of the material. Using PCMs in separate heat or cold stores is usually based on active systems.
The use of PCM in a food drying process is therefore not just for heat storage if the heat source is variable, as could be done with other methods of heat storage. The use of PCM additionally allows stabilizing the temperature in the range that results in the best food quality.
To make PCM form stable is the simplest modification. Most PCM have a low thermal conductivity, around or below 1 W/mK; by addition of materials with good thermal conductivity, like graphite, a composite material with significantly higher thermal conductivity is formed, e.g. with up to 25 W/mK.
Probably the oldest standard for the application of PCM, in other words design guidelines, is the ASHRAE Design Guide for Cool Thermal Storage , with its first edition from 1993.
For higher-temperature applications (>500 K), PCMs are almost entirely composed of molten salts and metal alloys, whose strong corrosivity requires careful container material selection and safety precautions.
