THINICE APPLICATIONS
By introducing eutectic products into a radiant heating
system, it is possible to capture excess heating during the
day time and maintain that heat into the cold of night. 27°C
(81°F) phase change material (PCM) is sealed inside HDPE
modules. This material captures energy by melting and
releases it when it freezes. All conventional floor finishes are
rated to handle these temperatures.
Each module features a number of grooves which are
optimally spaced out for runs of underfloor heat pipes, this
close contact with the PCM ensures the best heat transfer
"Once installed, the thermal mass of a building
may be increased by as much as 10~15 times."
For the best results, this can be paired with a ground source
heat pump (GSHP) or other renewable heating systems so
that the entire PCM TES can be charged with free energy
and then discharged nightly.
INSTALLATION
At normal conditions the PCM will be in solid form, making
the modules very robust. Rows of modules can be laid
directly on top of the insulation layer replacing conventional
castellated panels. This creates a grid which allows the
heating pipe to be laid easily, holding the heat pipe in place
throughout the screeding process to ensure that the finished
underfloor heating system will distribute heat evenly.
possible. They allow for pipe lengths to be easily held in
place during the installation process requiring no specialist
skills. Once installed, the thermal mass of a building may be
increased by as much as 10~15 times. Thanks to there being
no moving parts, PCM TES is effectively maintenance free
and once installed it simply becomes part of the building.
