122 practice, flat PCM packs are hung like curtains or attached to walls; in animal facilities, protected casings with air circulation prevent damage by livestock [4]. Fig.1 [5] Example of PCM module placement on the interior wall of a solar greenhouse. Reflective packets filled with PCM (paraffin-based mixture) absorb solar heat during the day and reduce heat loss through the wall at night, thereby increasing nighttime air temperature. Benefits of Paraffin-Based PCM Systems in Agriculture: Passive and autonomous operation: No electronics or active control required. Thermal regulation occurs automatically through phase change. Energy efficiency: Free solar heat or surplus energy is stored and reused at night, reducing fuel or electricity demand. Improved thermal comfort: PCMs buffer daily temperature extremes, enhancing plant growth and animal health. Safety and environmental friendliness: Paraffin is inert, non-toxic, and stable across many thermal cycles. It does not emit harmful substances and is recyclable. No pressure hazards: Unlike water-based systems, paraffin expands slightly and can be safely sealed in lightweight containers.
