SUMMARY

The surface temperature of a newly designed pack containing Phase Change Material (PCM) was measured and compared with the temperature course of a traditional parafango pack. The decrease of surface temperature over time was nearly identical in both packs. However, higher starting values were found with parafango packs than with PCM packs after storing the packs for 12 hours in an oven at 55°C. After storing the PCM packs at 70° C, the maximum surface temperature was 4 degrees below the maximum temperature of parafango packs stored at 55°C. The temperature characteristics of the new PCM pack are not superior to traditional parafango packs.
