Applications - Solar Heating & Heat Recovery
Industrial Applications
PlusICE solutions enable designers around the world to apply the PCM technology, stabilising heat loads and matching heat load and time balance for an economical and reliable operation. Loads in dairies, breweries and food factories can be simply balanced by PCM TES systems to suit the operating temperatures of the system to cut any waste energy.
Domestic Hot Water
Phase Change Materials added to a standard domestic immersion tank increase the hot water storage capacity many times over.
Heating Solar TES
The time lag between energy availability and consumption between the midday sun and hot water heating requirements is bridged by PCM TES which offers economic and efficient installation.
Installed Projects
Built for the Solar Decathlon competition, the Solar House provides comfort cooling by simply storing cold night energy and heating by storing daytime solar energy, negating the need for any energy input.
Commonwealth Games Village Australia
Utilising Solar TES. During the period of the Games, the requirements for additional hot water in order to cover the excessive occupancy level were increased dramatically.
- Solar House (860Kb)
Part of the US solar decathlon competition designed to be self sufficent housing demostration installation using PCM to store heat (during day time for night use) and cold (during night for day use)
- TRI-GEN (100Kb)
Using PCM energy storage for HOT and COLD sides of a CHP / Co-Generation systems enable designer to reduce the size of the machinery and achieve the most economical installation and shorter pay back.
- Commonwealth Games Solar TES (625Kb)
