TH0�C Phase Change Material (PCM)

TH0°C Phase Change Material (PCM) is a hydrated salt which has a large quantity of energy (in the form of latent heat) which is absorbed or released when a material changes from the solid to the liquid state (melting) or from the liquid to the solid state (freezing). With PCP additives these phase changes take place at constant temperature and the process can be repeated over thousands of cycles with no change to their physical or chemical properties.

TH0°C salt with a melting temperature of 0°C - a temperature that makes it ideal for cold storage for air conditioning and industrial applications. TH0°C PCM offers the best aspects with respect to a number of selection criteria:

  • A high energy density (heat of fusion, specific heat) over the operating temperature range of -3°C to +3°C i.e. 1 L of TH0°C salt release an energy amount equivalent to 14 L of water.
  • Chemical and thermal stability by using PCP additives.
  • Non-toxic and non-flammable.
  • Suitable for other physical and thermodynamic properties.

TH0°C PRODUCT APPLICATIONS

  • Air conditioning for domestic home uses using off-peak low tariff electricity.
  • Central air conditioning for commercial office buildings, banks, airports, department stores, supermarkets etc uses using off-peak low tariff electricity.
  • Small to large industrial air conditioners.

MANUFACTURE OF TH0°C PCM

TH0°C is manufactured in accordance with PCP Quality Control (QC)/ Quality Assurance (QA) to give it the highest quality PCM product.

PCP additives are the most important ingredients to make the PCM work well with many cycles life and thermal stability.
