Phase change energy storage material supplier

What are phase change materials (PCMs)?

Phase Change Materials (PCMs) are ideal products for thermal management solutions. This is because they store and release thermal energy during the process of melting & freezing (changing from one phase to another). When such a material freezes, it releases large amounts of energy in the form of latent heat of fusion, or energy of crystallisation.

Who is phase change solutions?

Phase Change Solutions is awarded as a 2020 BNEF Pioneer from BloombergNEF, one of ten game-changing companies recognized for their leadership in transformative technologies. Phase Change Solutions (“PCS”) is a global leader in the development of temperature control and energy-efficiency solutions utilizing phase change materials (“PCMs”).

Why are phase change materials useful?

Phase change materials are useful because they melt and solidify at specific, defined temperatures, making them suitable to control the temperature in range of diverse applications. Materials that melt to absorb heat are much more efficient at absorbing heat energy compared to sensible heat energy materials.

What is TCM based thermal energy storage?

Following extensive development programme over the last 10 years it is established that the most critical aspect of the Thermo Chemical Material (TCM) based Thermal Energy Storage (TES) is the regeneration temperature of the TCM. Hence, the following range of TCM materials are designated based on the regeneration point.

What is thermal energy storage?

Thermal Energy Storage (TES) is the temporary storage of high or low temperature energy for later use. It bridges the gap between energy requirement and energy use. A thermal storage application may involve a 24 hour or alternatively a weekly or seasonal storage cycle depending on the system design requirements.
