Encapsulated Products
1) FlatICE Containers:
These containers are constructed of blow moulded HDPE and can be filled with positive or negative temperature PCMs, although high temperature PCMs may be unsuitable due to softening of the plastic. Each container holds approx 3 litres of PCM and due to their design they can be stacked on top of each other to achieve a large bulk volume of PCM for, e.g., building temperature control applications. When stacked there is a small gap between each container, allowing either air or water to flow easily over the containers while providing a large PCM surface area for heat transfer.
2) TubeICE:
These containers operate on a similar principle to the FlatICE containers, and are supplied as fully sealed PCM-filled HDPE tubes. The tubular design enables them to be stacked effectively in both rectangular and cylindrical tanks with minimal void space. Once installed, a series of ridges around the circumference of the tube mean that air or water can pass freely between the containers allowing excellent heat exchange properties.
3) BallICE:
This technology is only available for use with our positive temperature organic range of PCMs, and involves the PCM being directly incorporated into a plastic or rubber matrix. This is then moulded to produce standard sized balls, although any shape or size can be moulded if required. This concept is ideal for heat storage applications such as solar, waste heat, hot water, and domestic/commercial heating tanks.
4) Eutectic Plates :
This catalogue acts as an introductory guide to the methods of encapsulation available for our sub-zero eutectic PCMs, and their typical modes of application and uses.
5)
PCM Pouches:
The bulk of the range of our PCMs can be supplied prefilled in a wide variety of flexible metallic or non-metallic pouches, available in a number of different sizes for use in temperature critical transport applications. Alternatively, we can fill the PCM in our customer's own pouches.
6) Transport Eutectic Plates :
Our range of metallic eutectic plates are available in a number of different sizes, and filled with several different eutectic solutions to cover a multitude of applications and operational temperature ranges. They are available in both standard carbon steel and stainless steel, and with or without a cooling coil fitted. Those plates with a coil are frozen before use by attaching them to a refrigeration circuit, whereas those without are charged by storing in a cold room or freezer.
7)
EcoPacTILE:
A passive cooling energy storage application designed to work with standard perforated metal ceiling tile installations. The EcoPacTILE is constructed of HDPE and is filled with our standard +25 °C (77 °F) PCM enabling charging of the PCM by the ambient night time temperature, for discharge during the day when cooling is required. The tile is available in 3 sizes and can be filled with different temperature PCMs if required for applications other than passive cooling.
8)
EcoPacBOX:
Another passive cooling application, this time targeted at maintaining operational temperatures in temperature sensitive areas such as computer rooms, telecoms shelters, or any enclosed space containing electrical equipment capable of generating heat. Many such pieces of equipment are specified not to be used in ambient temperatures greater than 45 °C (113 °F). The EcoPacBOX design complements, or eliminates altogether, the need for mechanical cooling in such spaces.
