As the world places greater emphasis on energy conservation, emission reduction, and sustainable development, the application of thermal energy storage materials is gaining increasing attention. In the heating sector, efficient heat storage technology can significantly reduce energy consumption, improve energy efficiency, and minimize environmental pollution. Glacial Coolant, a leading company in the field of secondary refrigerant manufacturing, has launched the LM-XR-36 phase change thermal storage material. With its outstanding performance and broad application prospects, this product is steadily becoming the ideal choice for energy-efficient heating solutions.
The LM-XR-36 phase change material is a multi-component composite, consisting of a primary phase change material, phase change modifiers, anti-supercooling agents, and anti-phase-separation additives. Its key characteristics include:
High Energy Storage Density: With an energy storage density of 294.1 kJ/kg, it can store and release large amounts of heat during the phase change process.
Excellent Thermal Conductivity: A thermal conductivity of 0.9132 W/m·K at 25°C ensures rapid heat transfer.
Wide Operating Temperature Range: A phase change temperature of 36°C makes it suitable for various temperature regulation needs.
Strong Cycling Stability: High cycling stability allows for repeated use and extends service life.
Eco-Friendly and Non-Toxic: The material is harmless and non-polluting, aligning with green development goals.
Leak-Resistant: It does not leak or evaporate during use, ensuring safety and reliability.
Applications in Energy-Efficient Heating
The LM-XR-36 offers significant advantages in energy-efficient heating systems:
Efficient Energy Storage and Release
By storing heat during off-peak electricity hours at night and releasing it during peak daytime hours, the LM-XR-36 enables "load shifting," reducing operating costs. Its ability to absorb large amounts of heat quickly and release it gradually ensures stable indoor temperatures and enhances comfort.
Reduced Energy Consumption
The material’s high heat storage capacity decreases the need for frequent boiler cycling in heating systems, cutting down on energy use and maintenance expenses. It also optimizes energy utilization when integrated with renewable sources like solar and geothermal energy.
Environmental Benefits
Through efficient heat storage and release, the LM-XR-36 reduces reliance on fossil fuels, lowers carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions, and supports carbon peak and neutrality targets. It also helps decrease pollutants from traditional heating methods, improving urban air quality.
Smart Management Integration
The material can be combined with intelligent control systems to automatically regulate heat storage and release based on indoor and outdoor temperatures, enabling smart, user-friendly management.
A large residential community with a traditional coal-fired boiler heating system—known for high energy use and pollution—integrated the LM-XR-36 phase change material. By adopting a nighttime storage and daytime release operation model, the community significantly lowered operating costs, reduced boiler cycling, and improved system stability and reliability. According to community management, overall heating energy consumption dropped by 20%, carbon emissions fell by 15%, and resident satisfaction increased noticeably.
With advancing energy-efficient heating technologies, the demand for high-performance, environmentally friendly thermal storage materials continues to grow. Glacial Coolant’s LM-XR-36, with its exceptional properties and versatile applications, is emerging as a leading solution in the field. Whether for large-scale centralized heating or small independent household systems, the LM-XR-36 provides reliable heat storage and release, helping users achieve efficient, safe, and eco-friendly heating objectives. Choosing LM-XR-36 means embracing an efficient, secure, and sustainable future.
