Operating temperatures & duty
Typical plateaux: ~11 °C °C
Duty: partial cycling around comfort or process set-points, night-charge and day discharge where useful
Where it helps
AC peak trimming and load shifting in commercial buildings
Reduce cooling energy demand and shift peak loads in buildings and HVAC systems.
Plant rooms, Data centres and CRAC units that short cycle in warm weather
Electronics and light process spaces needing gentle temperature buffering
| Target temperatures | Best-fit PCM | Typical charge sources |
|---|---|---|
| ~11 °C | P11 (Organic, evaluation) | Chiller loop set below 9 °C |
How do I pick the right PCM?
Select a PCM with a tight melting/freezing temperature range that matches your critical process tolerance, and always include a safety margin of at least 10-20% extra mass to account for real-world inefficiencies and potential peak loads. We can provide a quick PCM vs glycol system comparison.
