Heat absorbed or released as the result of a phase change is called latent heat. There is no temperature change during a phase change, thus there is no change in the kinetic energy of the particles in the material. The energy released comes from the potential energy stored in the bonds between the particles. Scattered thoughts….
Latent heat storage systems are often said to have higher storage densities than storage systems based on sensible heat storage. This is not generally true; for most PCMs, the phase change enthalpy Δh pc corresponds to the change in sensible heat with a temperature change between 100–200 K, so the storage density of sensible …
