New Approach To Temperature Control
Mom was right: veggies are good for you. What she didn’t know was that
vegetable byproducts can reduce home and building energy usage by 30 percent.
It’s true. PureTemp™, launched by Entropy Solutions, is a specially
engineered vegetable oil derivative that controls temperatures to extremes -
as cold as dry ice, as hot as coffee - for extended periods of time. PureTemp
is the world’s first and only 100 percent renewable, biodegradable and
environmentally friendly material to answer age-old issues concerning temperature
control and maintenance.
PureTemp, available in liquid, micro-encapsulated and macro-encapsulated
forms, has myriad applications in the construction, shipping, textile, healthcare
and energy industries - anywhere strict temperature control is required.
“
PureTemp, when used in conjunction with our biopcm™ product, has shown
to reduce energy usage in homes and commercial buildings,” said Alex Chaffetz,
president of Phase Change Energy Solutions, based in Asheboro, NC. “We
performed countless tests trying to find the optimal material, and those tests
confirmed the superior performance of PureTemp to help keep a structure at a
more consistent temperature throughout the day, improving energy efficiency and
providing the construction industry with arguably the only true ‘green’ technology
available today.”
PureTemp can also be used in the following ways: In residential and commercial
constructions materials, such as insulation, flooring, ceiling tiles or HVAC
systems; in sidewalks, bridges and roads to help keep icy surfaces from forming.
PureTemp’s patented and proprietary formulation works by absorbing and
releasing otherwise-wasted surrounding ambient energy, providing the ability
to hold specific temperature ranges for long periods of time. Tests performed
by the USDA and analyses completed by Independent Life-Cycle and BEESO have resulted
in PureTemp being listed in the USDA BioPreferred™ directory as the only “green” choice
in the Heat Transfer Fluid category.
PureTemp is a “phase change material,” meaning it has the ability
to change “phases” between set temperatures - anywhere between 40ºF
and 160ºF. During the process of liquefying and solidifying within a set temperature
range, phase change materials absorb, store and release large amounts of energy.
These natural properties of latent heat energy help maintain a product’s
or structure’s temperature and buffer it from temperature swings. PCMs
recharge as ambient (outdoor) temperatures fluctuate, making them ideal for
a multitude of everyday applications.
