Products & key benefits

Edge Comfort PCM interior panels

Turn wall surfaces into thermal storage

Combine latent storage with the finish to absorb room heat within limited panel thickness; select fire, clean-surface and antistatic properties by model.

T23 / T26 prefinished PCM wall panels and application-specific interior options.

Product details

UltraST T3 / T5 room modules

Compact, repeatable temperature buffering

The composite confines the PCM while its conductive network transfers room heat into storage, reducing liquid migration and supporting reuse.

Shape-stable modules for ceilings, window-side cabinets and other available spaces.

Product details

HVAC thermal-storage modules

Recover near the target temperature

Low supercooling supports solidification closer to the intended temperature, allowing heat pumps or cool night conditions to restore capacity for the next occupied period.

Materials and cores matched to heat-pump temperatures, schedules and water-loop conditions.

Product details

ULTRAST / MATERIAL SCIENCE

How material strengths become application value.

Match walls, ceiling modules and heat-pump circuits to the daily rhythm of the building.

01 / High enthalpy: store heat within limited space

Add thermal inertia within limited wall-panel thickness.

Latent heat stores energy within the selected transition range; usable capacity follows the effective PCM content of the finished product.

Data and validation basisModel parameter: EC-CB6-200 design latent capacity of 200 kJ/m²

02 / Shape-stable, leak-resistant design

Fit modules in ceilings or window-side cabinets while limiting core migration.

Pore confinement and the composite skeleton hold the PCM core, reducing migration and liquid-leakage pathways after melting.

Data and validation basisProduct validation: encapsulation, thermal cycling and mounting

03 / Flame retardancy for safer integration

Select materials and assemblies with combustion performance suited to the room use.

Flame-retardant selected UltraST formulations work with encapsulation; combustion performance is assessed for the material and finished product.

Data and validation basisTest documentation: panel-specific fire classification and assembly

04 / Low supercooling: solidify nearer the target range

Restore capacity with night cooling or heat-pump conditions before the next occupied period.

Reduce delayed solidification so the material can store cooling or release solidification heat closer to its intended temperature range.

Data and validation basisMaterial/operation validation: solidification range, recovery temperature and time

05 / Stable cycling: recover capacity repeatedly

Keep walls and modules participating in daily absorption and release.

Confinement limits component migration and phase separation to support thermal performance over repeated charge/discharge cycles.

Data and validation basisDurability: latent-heat retention; building effect: condition-specific simulation

UltraST targets high conductivity and enthalpy, low supercooling and stable cycling, with shape-stable leak-resistant design and flame-retardant selected formulations. Metrics apply to the selected formulation, temperature range and product; microcapsules are assessed for their own materials and processes.

Product placement

Integrate high-enthalpy PCM storage into interior panels and room modules. Shape-stable, leak-resistant design and flame-retardant selected formulations bring thermal buffering into walls, ceilings and HVAC units.

  1. 01

    Suitable cool conditions solidify the PCM and prepare it to absorb heat.

  2. 02

    As the room enters the selected temperature range, PCM absorbs some heat and moderates fluctuations.

  3. 03

    A sufficiently cool environment removes stored heat and restores capacity for the next cycle.

Inside two Solar Decathlon net-zero homes.

At the Solar Decathlon China net-zero building competition in Zhangjiakou, fifteen zero-carbon houses became part of a national new-energy demonstration base.

Working with two of China’s leading architecture schools, Passive Edge supplied the PCM wall storage & temperature-control system for both Qiju 3.0 (Xi’an University of Architecture & Technology) and Pitched House (Chongqing University). Both buildings posted strong energy performance and were widely recognised.

How it works
Buildings & heat pumps · Application principle
  1. Room and heat exchange environment

  3. Module enclosure and support

Suitable cool conditions solidify the PCM and prepare it to absorb heat.

Structures and cycles illustrate the principle. Selection, capacity and performance depend on operating conditions and validation.
