Phase change materials for thermal energy storage
3.1.1.1. Salt hydrates Salt hydrates with the general formula AB·nH 2 O, are inorganic salts containing water of crystallization. During phase transformation dehydration of the salt occurs, forming either a salt hydrate that contains fewer water molecules: ABn · n H 2 O → AB · m H 2 O + (n-m) H 2 O or the anhydrous form of the salt AB · n H 2 O →
