text: Applications of phase change materials include, but are not limited to:
  * Thermal energy storage, such as the FlexTherm Eco by Flamco.
  * Solar cooking
  * Cold Energy Battery
  * Conditioning of buildings, such as ice-storage
  * Cooling of heat and electrical engines
  * Cooling: food, beverages, coffee, wine, milk products, green houses
  *Delaying ice and frost formation on surfaces
  * Medical applications: transportation of blood, operating tables, hot-cold therapies, treatment of birth asphyxia
  * Human body cooling under bulky clothing or costumes.
  * Waste heat recovery
  * Off-peak power utilization: Heating hot water and Cooling
  * Heat pump systems
  * Passive storage in bioclimatic building/architecture (HDPE, paraffin)
  * Smoothing exothermic temperature peaks in chemical reactions
  * Solar power plants
  * Spacecraft thermal systems
  * Thermal comfort in vehicles
  * Thermal protection of electronic devices
  * Thermal protection of food: transport, hotel trade, ice-cream, etc.
  * Textiles used in clothing
  * Computer cooling
  * Turbine Inlet Chilling with thermal energy storage
  * Telecom shelters in tropical regions. They protect the high-value equipment in the shelter by keeping the indoor air temperature below the maximum permissible by absorbing heat generated by power-hungry equipment such as a Base Station Subsystem. In case of a power failure to conventional cooling systems, PCMs minimize use of diesel generators, and this can translate into enormous savings across thousands of telecom sites in tropics.
