Transportation and infrastructure sectors face difficulties during the winter season. When road's temperature drops below 3°C, the risk of ice formation increases, leading to reduced traction and snow accumulation. The use of phase change materials (PCMs) can be a potential solution. However, it is important to consider various factors when selecting PCMs, including phase change temperature, latent heat, and long-term stability. In this study, our focus was on RT5HC, a paraffin with a melting temperature of 5°C. Various thermal analysis techniques were employed to characterize its thermophysical properties, particularly its thermal stability and latent heat. The results of the study demonstrated that the RT5HC paraffin reveals good thermal stability for the intended application. Moreover, its high latent heat provides an advantage for thermal energy storage. These findings contribute to advancements in the field of PCMs and offer promising prospects for their use in preventing ice formation and freezing during winter periods.
