In an era of growing global emphasis on energy efficiency and sustainability, advanced energy storage technologies have gained significant attention in HVAC applications. Glacier Refrigerant, a leading manufacturer in the refrigerant industry, proudly introduces the LM-XL-10 Phase Change Cold Storage Material, an innovative solution designed to enhance the performance and sustainability of low-temperature air conditioning systems.

Key Product Features:

LM-XL-10 is engineered using a multi-component composite formula that includes primary energy storage agents, phase change modifiers, anti-supercooling agents, anti-phase separation agents, and nucleating agents. The material offers the following distinctive advantages:

  • Wide Phase Change Temperature Range: Phase transition temperature of -11°C, with melting at -10.5°C, suitable for ultra-low temperature applications.

  • High Energy Storage Density: Delivers an impressive energy storage density of 310.7 kJ/kg, enabling efficient thermal energy absorption and release.

  • Excellent Thermal Conductivity: Thermal conductivity of 0.5664 W/m·K at 20°C ensures rapid and uniform heat transfer.

  • Low Volume Change: Volume variation during phase change is ≤10%, ensuring system stability.

  • Safety & Reliability: Classified as non-hazardous, non-volatile, and reusable.

  • Environmentally Friendly: Non-toxic, pollution-free, and fully aligned with green development principles.

Applications in Low-Temperature HVAC Systems:

LM-XL-10 offers multiple benefits for modern HVAC systems, particularly in terms of energy management and operational efficiency:

  • Peak Shaving & Valley Filling: Stores cooling energy during off-peak electricity hours and releases it during peak demand, significantly reducing operational costs.

  • Stable Cooling Supply: Rapid heat absorption and gradual release ensure consistent indoor temperatures and enhanced comfort.

  • Reduced Energy Consumption: Minimizes compressor cycling, lowering both energy use and maintenance costs.

  • Integration with Renewable Energy: Compatible with solar, geothermal, and other sustainable energy sources to further optimize system efficiency.

  • Lower Carbon Emissions: Reduces power consumption and associated greenhouse gas emissions, supporting global carbon reduction goals.

  • Smart Control Compatibility: Can be integrated with intelligent building management systems for automated, responsive climate control.

Real-World Application:

A major commercial complex recently integrated LM-XL-10 into its central HVAC system. Originally reliant on a conventional air-cooled system with high energy consumption and operational costs, the building now operates on a nighttime energy storage and daytime release model. The results have been remarkable:

  • 25% reduction in overall HVAC energy consumption

  • 20% decrease in carbon emissions

  • Improved system reliability and customer satisfaction
