    Abstract: The present invention, in an embodiment thereof, provides a latent heat storage material containing a supercooling inhibitor that, if added to an aqueous solution of an inorganic salt including sodium chloride, restrains supercooling by unfailingly precipitating as crystals upon cooling and therefore only marginally lowers the melting point and reduces latent heat. The latent heat storage material contains: an aqueous solution of sodium chloride; and a eutectic aqueous solution of sodium chloride and disodium hydrogen phosphate in an amount that, in comparison with the eutectic aqueous solution of sodium chloride, is greater than or equal to an amount that gives a saturation concentration at 0° C. This arrangement makes a sufficient amount of latent heat available for cooling white restraining supercooling, by using a latent heat storage material containing a supercooling inhibitor that restrains supercooling by unfailingly precipitating as crystals upon cooling and that therefore only marginally lowers the melting point and reduces latent heat.

    Abstract: Provided is a cooling device in which a latent heat storage material is at least made dormant during physical distribution to thereby cause the cooling function to last longer. A cooling device used for a distribution packaging container and configured to perform temperature adjustment of a cooling target article includes a latent heat storage material having a supercooling characteristic, and having a temperature range of a dormant period between a solidification temperature of start of a phase change from a liquid phase to a solid phase and a melting start temperature of start of a phase change from a solid phase to a liquid phase; and a containing region containing the latent heat storage material, wherein the latent heat storage material is selected in accordance with a proper holding temperature range of the cooling target article such that a main melting temperature falls within the proper holding temperature range of the cooling target article, and the temperature range of the dormant period and the proper holding temperature range of the cooling target article at least have an overlapping range.

    Abstract: A heat-storage material that provides a sufficiently large amount of thermal energy as a latent-heat storage material including a semiclathrate hydrate and that improves hysteresis between the solidifying temperature and the melting starting temperature and a refrigerator and a cooling container that include the heat-storage material are provided. The heat-storage material that changes phase at a predetermined temperature includes water, a main agent including a quaternary ammonium salt that forms a semiclathrate hydrate, a pH adjuster that maintains alkaline properties, and a nucleating agent that generates a cation that exhibits positive hydration. In such an aqueous solution maintained to be alkaline, the nucleating agent becomes a nucleus in solidification, and thus, the temperature difference between the solidifying temperature and the melting temperature can be decreased.

    Abstract: A human body is cooled at an appropriate temperature, and a sufficient usage time is ensured. A cooling tool according to one aspect of the present invention is a cooling tool for cooling a human body, including a freezing material 30a that undergoes a phase change at a particular temperature and a first container containing the freezing material 30a. The first container transfers heat between the human body and the freezing material at a contact surface in contact with the skin of the human body. At least the contact surface has a thermal effusivity within the possible range of thermal effusivity of the skin of the human body. The contact surface may have a thermal effusivity (J/(m2˜S1/2·K)) of 1,000 to 2,000.
