This experimental research clarifies the advantageous effect of adding paraffin wax as the appropriate organic phase change material (PCM) to control the temperature rise of the fast charging power module (100 mm × 50 mm × 20 mm). The effects of PCM physical parameters (thermal conductivity, melting...
