What is PCM?
Phase Change Materials (PCMs) are special thermal energy storage materials, used as a reliable source of energy to maintain required temperatures in various applications and industries. Our PCMs are made from Hydrated Salts or Organic materials. When these materials change phase from solid-to-liquid or liquid-to-solid they can store and release large amounts of thermal energy.
The best example is water to ice; put some ice in a bucket, add some bottles, and as the ice melts, the water in the bottles absorbs the cold.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is PCM?
PCM stands for Phase Change Materials. They are special thermal energy storage materials that can store and release large amounts of thermal energy when they change phase from solid-to-liquid or liquid-to-solid. Pluss Advanced Technologies utilizes PCMs made from Hydrated Salts or Organic materials.
A full list of our savE® PCM’s can be found here.
Can you provide an example of PCM in action?
One of the best examples of PCM is the transformation of water to ice. As you freeze the water in your freezer, the water changes phase from liquid to solid. In this phase change it is absorbing the cold, so storing thermal energy also known as Latent Heat. When you then place the ice in a bucket and add warm beverage bottles, as the ice melts, the beverage in the bottles absorbs the cold, thereby the thermal energy you stored by turning water into ice in the freezer is released. The result: a cold beverage on a hot day!
How are PCMs used?
PCMs are used as a reliable source of thermal energy storage. The ability to maintain a required temperature is suitable in various applications and industries. Most recently during covid, PCM’s ensured the worldwide delivery of vaccines at the correct temperature. PCM’s are daily used by many pharmaceutical, clinical trail or perishable transport companies to ensure their products arrive at the correct temperature. They can also be utilized in buildings for heating and cooling purposes, as well as for storing renewable energy, shifting peak power loads, and facilitating effective heat/cool dissipation. Sometimes you also see athletes wearing PCM’s vests to keep them cool before a race.
