The recent volatility in global and domestic energy markets is driving a fundamental rethink in how we access and use energy. Electrical battery solutions are now giving people the opportunity to store energy captured now, for use later. This makes sense if an electrical end use exists, but what if that end use was [...]

Phase change materials (PCM) are substances that absorb and release thermal energy during the process of melting and freezing. When a PCM freezes, it releases a large amount of energy in the form of latent heat at a relatively constant temperature. The most commonly used PCM is water/ice. Working closely with the University of [...]

Thermal energy storage (TES) allows the transfer and storage of heat energy, by means of a thermal reservoir. The thermal energy stored can then be used later. A typical example used for cooling is to run a refrigeration plant overnight using cheaper off peak electricity, then during the day the refrigeration plant is cycled [...]

Glaciem Cooling Technologies thermal storage system Thermcold utilises the development of new Phase Change Materials (PCM’s) to provide a revolutionary breakthrough that can significantly reduce energy costs for medium & low temperature refrigeration applications. These special Phase Change Material (PCM)PCMs were devolved developed by UniSA and won winner of the Australian Museum 2015 ANSTO prize [...]
