Abstract: The present work includes the investigation of the thermophysical properties of latent storage materials (melting temperature range 0–20°C) to be used in cooling and air conditioning applications. These are hexadecane, decanol and caprilic acid. Measurements with a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) to obtain the melting and freezing point, the degree of supercooling, the latent heat of fusion, and the specific heat in solid and liquid phases of the materials were performed and the possibility of their use in heat storage systems was discussed.
