Description

WINTER HEATING.

ThermaCool® panels for Underfloor Heating are an award winning panel that incorporate Phase Change Materials (PCMs) design for low temperature flow rates, Ideal for Air/Ground source Heat pumps. They absorb and store the Radiant heat and within the floor and release the stored heat slowly throughout the day.

If using an electric floor heating system you can charge the floor using cheap night time tariff electricity.

SUMMER COOLING.

The panels act as a heat sink absorbing heat to 26 degrees then release slowly back into the building. THERMACOOL® panels are a lightweight solution for adding thermal mass that is 9 x lighter than heavy density concrete, smoothing out temperature peaks of a building improving internal temperatures more effectively to provide a comfortable working environment.

THERMAL MASS EXPLAINED.

A thermal mass is a material that absorbs heat from a heat source and then releases it slowly. In buildings thermal mass is provided by the structure of the building.

Buildings constructed of lightweight materials such as steel or timber are not considered to have good thermal mass properties compared to concrete, brick or stone and are prone to overheat.

The ability to absorb and release heat enables buildings with thermal mass to respond naturally to changing weather conditions, helping to stabilise the internal temperature.

PCMs Explained

PCMs (phase change materials) are materials that undergo a phase change transition from solid to liquid and liquid to solid to absorb or release large amounts of latent heat at a relatively constant temperature.

Reduce Energy Demand

Essentially, PCMs work in the same way as a material with thermal mass – capturing and releasing energy to smooth out peaks and troughs of the heating and cooling cycle. By removing these peaks and troughs, often as a result of air conditioning systems, phase change materials manage the internal temperatures more effectively and efficiently to provide a comfortable working temperature throughout the day.

Increasing thermal mass

Phase Change Materials are a lightweight solution for thermal mass that can be up to 9 x lighter than heavy density concrete.

ThermaCool® Innovation

Through this natural process of phase change, we have used the technology in our ThermaCool® wall and ceiling products, giving both thermal mass to lightweight structures and also significantly reducing the energy demand of climate control systems.

For use in both new build construction and retrofit of commercial and residential buildings, our ThermaCool® products reduce the energy consumption of climate control systems. Our products offer competitively priced, easy to install solutions that yield significant energy and carbon savings for your building.
