Clathrate compound is the material that host in hydrogen bond forms cage and guest is included into it and combined. Crystallization of hydrate is generated at higher temperature than that of ice from pure water. And physical properties according to temperature are stable and congruent melting phenomenon is occurred without phase separation. But clathrate compound still had supercooling problem occurred in the course of phase change and supercooling should be minimized because it affects efficiency of equipment very much. Therefore, various studies on additives to restrain this or heat storage methods are needed. In this study was investigated the cooling characteristics of the TMA-water clathrate compound including TMA (Tri-methyl-amine, (CH₃)₃N) of 20 ~ 25 wt% as a low temperature latent heat storage material. And ethanol(CH₃CH₃OH) was added and its cooling characteristics were studied experimentally to restrain supercooling of TMA-water clathrate compound.
