Phase change energy storage ball manufacturer

What are phase change materials?

Phase Change Materials are a series of engineered materials for thermal energy storage purpose. PCMs absorb or release large amounts of heat energy in the latent of heat form during its phase change process. Because of its ability to storge thermal energy, it is widely used in thermal management solutions.

Are phase change materials suitable for thermal energy storage?

Phase change materials (PCMs) having a large latent heat during solid-liquid phase transition are promising for thermal energy storage applications. However, the relatively low thermal conductivity of the majority of promising PCMs (<10 W/ (m ⋅ K)) limits the power density and overall storage efficiency.

What is a phase change material (PCM)?

Whilst the output is always thermal, the input energy may be either thermal or electrical. Phase Change Materials (PCMs) are products that store and release thermal energy during the process of melting & freezing (changing from one phase to another).

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”).

Which phase change material is most effective?

Interestingly, the simplest, cheapest and most effective Phase Change Material is water/ice. Unfortunately, its freezing point of 0 ̊C (+32 ̊F) precludes it from the majority of energy storage applications.

How can mL and AI improve thermal storage component development?

ML and AI integrated with physics-based principles have the potential for rapid performance prediction and design optimization. To enable high-fidelity thermal storage component development, the consolidation of PCM datasets is necessary.
