Engineered SemiST and UltraST PCM plates and thermal cores for industrial heat recovery, building HVAC integration, and process-side thermal management — with configurable phase points across a 20–80 °C envelope.
1. Wasted recoverable heat. Industrial processes, boiler plants, and HVAC systems generate heat that’s either dumped to atmosphere or arrives outside the window where it’s useful.
2. Mismatched timing. Building heating demand peaks in early morning; process heat is available all day. Solar-thermal generates mid-day; useful load is at night. Without storage, the surplus is lost.
3. Sensible storage is bulky. Hot-water tanks scale linearly with temperature delta; serious thermal capacity quickly becomes a footprint problem. Latent storage carries far more capacity per unit volume.
PCM plates and cores let you store heat at the temperature it’s actually used at — holding capacity flat through the phase transition, then releasing it back into the process or building loop on demand.
Two integration paths — depending on whether you want to specify your own thermal subsystem around our materials, or take a pre-engineered module from us.
Engineered PCM plates with embedded flow channels. Specify into your own heat exchanger or process module — we provide chemistry, plate geometry, and integration spec.
Pre-engineered stacked-plate cores with inlet / outlet manifolds, instrumentation interfaces, and validated charge / discharge curves. Sized to your process or HVAC loop.
A responsive, specialist development team plus an established supply-chain partner network — we engineer custom PCM form factors around your geometry, mounting interface and process constraints, delivered end-to-end from formulation to finished encapsulation. Two forms already in the field below.
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.
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.
The more of the following you can share early, the faster we can return a useful response. None of these constitute a commitment from either side.
We work in clearly-bounded stages. No stage commits the next. Each stage produces a document you can use internally — even if you don't proceed with us.
You share heat source, heat sink, working fluid, footprint, and target outcome. We return a written fit assessment within ~5 business days.
Joint review of phase point, plate geometry, and stacked-core configuration for your loop. Includes integration spec and predicted charge / discharge curves.
Scoped pilot with a single core on a representative loop, with instrumentation, charge / discharge protocol, and a defined validation window.
Pilot data review against predicted curves and engineering recommendation. Decisions about scaling the core or replicating it are made on measured evidence.
Phase point selection across the 20–80 °C envelope, latent heat capacity, plate geometry options, charge / discharge curves, cycle stability data.
Integration patterns for process waste-heat recovery, building HVAC loops, and CHP / solar-thermal buffering. Sizing worksheets and pilot scaffolds.
Editable template covering instrumentation, charge / discharge protocol, success criteria, and reporting outputs against predicted curves.
Our team will respond with a fit assessment, a relevant technical data package, and a proposed pilot test plan if there is a match.
