UNDER FLOOR HEATING THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE
ThinICE
Encapsulated ThinICE containers filled with 27 ~ 32C ( 81 ~ 90F ) Phase Change
Material is ideal to store any excess energy and over comes any overheating . This Thermal Energy Storage capability provides a useful tool to store any free energy such as solar as well as shifting the loads from peak to off-peak periods for any domestic or commercial heating applications .
A typical installation is illustrated below and ThinICE is designed to house any standard underfloor heating pipes within the built in grooves . Once the pipes are laid down over the ThinICE containers any standard floor levelling compound can be poured over the pipes to level the floor . Any screed and floor finishing materials can be applied like any standard underfloor installation . As the PCM material temperature is fixed this thermal energy storage within the floor mass will keep the floor temperatures steady irrespective of the incoming heating water supply temperatures .
