Applications - Passive Cooling
Telecom Shelters
It is imperative to keep electronics under 45 °C (+113 °F) in order to keep systems functioning. PCM systems freeze over night, even in desert climates, soak heat from the electric circuits, melt and release cool during the daytime.
Electronic Cooling
Performing the role of a thermal shock absorber, the PCM prevents electronics exceeding their critical temperature.
Battery Cooling
PCM technology gives extended life to the batteries by keeping the temperature down. Cooler batteries result in longer life and better performance.
Shelter Passive Cooling
The PCM freezes overnight to absorb heat during hotter daylight hours as well as internal heat generation in applications such as remote pump-station control rooms, to provide an electric-free solution.
Electronic Back-up Cooling
Many I.T. centres have their power supply backed up by generators or UPS for the computers. Unfortunately, as soon as the power goes off, the temperature rises. The PCM acts like a thermal sponge, soaking the heat from area and offers an electricfree back-up cooling solution.
