Abstract

In the latest years, the interest about Phase Change Materials (PCM) in building applications grew in force of their capability to adsorb heat and limit in-out building heat exchanges. The main problem is how to introduce PCM into the building envelope, also in case of ventilated façades. For this purpose, a ceramic foam was studied. Two different batches based on porcelain stoneware and soda-lime glass scraps were prepared to understand the involved bloating phenomena. Suitable bulk density and porous microstructure were achieved by adding a foaming agent and batch optimization. Specimen size was scaled up (from ∅ 3 cm to 15 × 15 cm) and its effect on bloating, PCM incorporation, and thermal properties was studied. Furthermore, different firing temperatures and heating rates were evaluated. The whole study was focused to disclose possible drawbacks in the industrial transfer of the PCM-bearing composite production.
