Inorganic Salt Crystallohydrates as Phase-Change Materials for Low-Grade Solar Energy Storage. 1. Selection of Long-Term Crystallohydrates

The designation, chemical formula and cost of 175 technically important crystallohydrates of inorganic salts are listed. To select crystallohydrates suitable for long-term solar energy storage, special technical and economic criterion are worked out. 36 more long-term crystallohydrates are chosen from the list using this criterion.
