Background:
Phase change materials (PCMs) take advantage of a materials high heat of fusion
in order to store incredible amounts of energy with little to no temperature change.
Typical energy storage is classified as sensible heat storage, because the heat
source/sink changes temperature as heat is added or removed. PCMs are classified
as latent heat storage because the PCMs dont change temperature as heat is
added or removed, but rather change phase, typically from solid to liquid and vice
versa.
Melink believes that there is untapped potential with PCMs when it comes to the
area of heating and cooling, particularly in the Geothermal industry. Heating and
cooling is one of the largest drains on the global energy grid, and is an area ripe for
game-changing innovation to create more energy-efficient systems resulting in a
more sustainable world.
