Products & technology

Industrial thermal storage

Transfer heat rapidly into high-enthalpy PCM through a conductive network. Low supercooling and cycling stability support repeated storage and release, connecting waste heat and low-cost energy to process demand through plates, cores and cabins.

  • Store usable heat in the target range
  • Design capacity and release power together
  • Support long-term cycling and safe integration

Products & key benefits

PCM materials and storage plates

Store usable heat in the target range

High enthalpy concentrates storage in the selected phase-change range, while low supercooling reduces delayed solidification and helps match process delivery temperatures.

PCM and plate geometry selected for source/sink temperatures and cycling conditions.

Product details

Conductive cores and storage cabins

Design capacity and release power together

The continuous graphite network reduces internal heat-transfer bottlenecks. Plate layers and flow paths then make stored heat available within the required period.

Plate assemblies, flow channels and heat-exchange interfaces sized for capacity and power.

Product details

Shape-stable modules and integration

Support long-term cycling and safe integration

Pore confinement limits phase separation. Shape-stable leak-resistant design and flame-retardant selected formulations provide a material basis for repeated operation and integration.

Stacked, tubular, custom-plate and air-channel formats, validated with equipment partners.

Product details

ULTRAST / MATERIAL SCIENCE

How material strengths become application value.

Design usable heat, transfer power and cycling life together so stored energy serves the process when required.

01 / High conductivity: move heat into PCM faster

Reduce internal heat-transfer bottlenecks to meet process release power.

A continuous three-dimensional graphite network provides heat paths and reduces internal heat-transfer bottlenecks in UltraST.

Data and validation basisHeat-exchange validation: charge/discharge curves at specified flow and temperature difference

02 / High enthalpy: store heat within limited space

Concentrate stored heat in a range useful to both source and sink.

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

Data and validation basisModel parameters: latent heat, effective PCM mass and module capacity

03 / Low supercooling: solidify nearer the target range

Reduce delayed solidification to match process delivery temperature.

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

Data and validation basisMaterial validation: phase-change range and solidification onset

04 / Stable cycling: recover capacity repeatedly

Support repeated storage for heat recovery and daily load shifting.

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

Data and validation basisDurability: enthalpy, phase separation and conductivity after cycling

05 / Flame retardancy for safer integration

Select suitable flame-retardant materials and encapsulation for the equipment.

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

Data and validation basisTest documentation: formulation and product combustion performance

06 / Shape-stable, leak-resistant design

Build PCM into stackable, serviceable plate layers and cores.

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

Data and validation basisProduct validation: dimensional stability, leakage condition and interfaces

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.

Chilled-water pipe PCM sleeve

An annular PCM cold-storage sleeve sized to the outer diameter of HVAC chilled / cooling-water pipes. It stores cold and shaves peaks right at the pipe, damps supply/return temperature swings, and slows temperature rise inside the line during chiller stops or power loss.

Fresh-air system PCM cold plate

A plate-type PCM cold-storage module built into fresh-air / ventilation ductwork. It charges cold during off-peak or overnight hours and discharges at peak to pre-cool the supply air — trimming peak fresh-air load and steadying supply-air temperature.
