What is it about?
The hydrate salt of CaCl2 with the composition of 40% CaCl2 and 60% water and a hydrate salt of Na2HPO4 with the composition of 5.03% Na2HPO4 and 94.97% water have been a phase change temperature corresponding to the evaporator working temperature. The latent heat of the both salt hydrates are quite high. The use of salt hydrate from CaCl2 was able to increase of heat transfer 18.3% compared to water.
