Pluss's Offerings
What are PCMs ?
� Materials that can store large amount of heat energy in the form of latent heat
� Release/absorption of heat at almost constant temperature
� Also called Passive cooling materials.

� Heat Absorption / Release process repeatable over a substantial number
of cycles (~ 3000 or more)
PCM Characteristics
□ Very high Latent Heat Capacity
□ Tailorable for specific temperature requirements
□ Easy handling; can be filled in a variety of encapsulations
