A set of videos recorded upon long-term thermocycling experiments carried out by using small containers filled with PCM candidates

Electronic Supplementary Material for Deliverable 2.7 "Report on the final heat storage block design and long term reliability experiments".

A set of fast-forward videoclips compiled based on the images recorded during the long-term experiments on small containers filled with PCM candidates and subjected to thermocycling procedure including consecutive melting/solidification. Details on involved materials and applied temperature profiles are described in D2.7.

The list of attached movies:

2908: Si+B mixture (3.2B wt%)/small container made of pure h-BN HeBoSint D100 (Henze, Germany)

2909: Si+B mixture (3.2B wt%)/small container made of h-BN composite HeBoSint O120 (Henze, Germany)

2910: Si+B mixture (3.2B wt %)/small container made of porous graphite (Kryzaplast, Poland)

2911: Si+B mixture (3.2B wt %)/small container made of h-BN composite HeBoSint O120 (Henze, Germany)

2969: Fe-Si-B alloy produced by NTNU/small container made of dense graphite IG-15 (Tanso, Sweden)

2970: Fe-Si-B alloy produced by NTNU/small container made of pure h-BN HeBoSint D100 (Henze, Germany)

2971: Fe-Si-B alloy produced by NTNU/small container made of h-BN composite HeBoSint O120 (Henze, Germany)
