20- & 40-FOOT CONTAINERS
COMPLETELY OFF GRID
Maintaining a 22° inside temperature while outside is 32°
THE ISSUES
- No reliable and sustainable alternative source of power other than diesel
- The high cost of projects in off grid locations:
– Set up cost of infrastructure and ongoing maintenance of diesel-powered grid for power generation (main and backup)
– Requirement to keep cool accommodation and storage of equipment
THE SOLUTION
An extremely efficient thermal storage solution, which creates a net positive energy outcome
- Captured solar energy is used to freeze PCM in a thermal storage® solution.
- Continuous freezing and melting causes heat transfer which in turn, cools the environment
THE TECHNOLOGY
- PCM is contained within vertical towers ® hidden behind a 21cm false wall
- 3 hours of captured solar energy can power a standard heat pump which freezes the PCM
- Cool air is then released through the vent at the bottom, while hot air is sucked into the top vents.
- This continuous process of freezing and melting of PCM releases energy for up to 2 days in one cycle.
BENEFITS
- Net positive energy outcome with High Return on Investment (ROI)
– Generates 100kW/day – only 8kWh/day is required to cool the environment 24/7 for 1 to 2 days minimum. - Clean and sustainable energy source – State of art design, featuring:
– Built in humidity control (condensation can be evacuated or captured)
– Incorporated air circulation system
– Silent and sleek design whilst providing for an ambient environment - Durability – PCM has a life expectancy of 50 years
- Standard easily sourced components
- Safe – Non-toxic, recyclable and non-flammable
- A robust corporate social responsibility plan
