Abstract
A thermal barrier panel with selectable phase change materials includes a thermal panel and a plurality of containers movably positioned within the thermal panel to correspond to a heat load at a corresponding ambient temperature. Each of the plurality of containers includes a plurality of receptacles that include a plurality of different phase change materials. Each of the plurality of different phase change materials absorbs thermal energy produced by heat from the heat load at a corresponding ambient temperature. Each of the plurality of different phase change materials are positioned in a corresponding receptacle within a corresponding container, and each of the plurality of receptacles in a corresponding container include one of the plurality of different phase change materials. Corresponding ones of the plurality of receptacles are movably positioned to place a corresponding phase change material in facing relation to the heat load based upon the corresponding ambient temperature.
