Sensible heat involves energy transfer causing a temperature change without a phase change. Applying or removing heat from a substance leads to a linear temperature rise or fall. In contrast, latent heat is linked to a phase change, like the transformation from solid to liquid or liquid to gas. Throughout these transitions, temperature stays constant as energy is absorbed or released. This distinctive aspect of latent heat is the key factor that renders PCMs highly valuable in diverse applications.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1rzvo31-b1934bb8707434faad18a439798c6f22\">\n.flex_column.av-1rzvo31-b1934bb8707434faad18a439798c6f22{\nborder-radius:20px 20px 20px 20px;\npadding:25px 25px 25px 25px;\nbackground-color:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-1rzvo31-b1934bb8707434faad18a439798c6f22 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-lp2o8v0w-42e834e0ee98d6de03de3aac51aa783d '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2>Applications in Pharma Logistics<\/h2>\n<p>Maintaining the integrity of temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals during storage and transportation is of utmost importance.
