Nearly half of all energy consumption is used to generate hot water and heat the homes we live in. A lot if this energy is wasted because of the poor energy control inside our homes.The project is focused on the manufacturing of new product for saving heat both in houses and in industry. Our new product is magnetic decorative cover sheets with thermo-regulating properties. Thermo-regulating magnetic covers can be easily applied and wrap any steel surface saving heat energy at high temperatures and releasing it at low temperatures. A simple way of demonstrating this is with house radiators. Every boiler has different heating programs alternating heating and on-hold periods. Hot water in radiators heats the house when the boiler is on. However, when the boiler is off, there is no external heating. Application of magnetic cover sheets with thermo-regulating properties on the radiator surface makes it possible to store heat and autonomically release it when the boiler is off (usually during the night). This technology will keep the house warm during the whole day thus saving on gas or electricity bills. Magnetic sheets can be easily attached or removed from radiator surfaces, so no special installation is needed. The same approach can be applied in industry for heating in-door factory areas from the waste heat produced by hot water piplines.The project is the combination of the cover sheets production technologies existing in Radwraps and research results achieved in the University of Liverpool for this new type of heat storage materials. Materials are composed of the encapsulated phase-change material for heat storage and a shell, which prevents the release of the encapsulated phase-change material and provide attachment to the surface of magnetic cover sheet. Great variety of the available phase-change materials will guarantee wide application area of the thermo-regulating magnetic cover sheets at different operating temperatures and conditions.Our expected customers are home and business owners, state/council/government buildings, hospitals. Thermoregulating magnetic covers can be applied on back side of the refrigerators, stoves, pipes, radiators, boilers etc. which can give a high versatility for end-users to save heat. They are thin enough to roll and easy to trim (makes on the shelf product for ie B&Q/DIY warehouses).

近一半的能源消耗用于产生热水和加热我们居住的房屋。由于我们家庭内部的能源控制不善，这些能源被浪费了很多。该项目的重点是制造新产品，以节省房屋和工业中的热量。我们的新产品是具有调温性能的磁性装饰盖板。热调节磁性盖可以很容易地应用和包裹任何钢表面，在高温下节省热能，在低温下释放热能。证明这一点的一个简单方法是使用房屋散热器。每个锅炉都有不同的加热程序，交替加热和保持时间。当锅炉打开时，散热器中的热水为房屋供暖。然而，当锅炉关闭时，没有外部供暖。在散热器表面上应用具有热调节性能的磁性盖板，可以在锅炉关闭时（通常在夜间）储存热量并释放热量。这项技术将使房屋全天保持温暖，从而节省燃气或电费。磁性片可以很容易地连接或从散热器表面移除，因此无需特殊安装。同样的方法也可以应用于工业领域，利用热水管道产生的废热加热室内工厂区域。该项目结合了Radwraps现有的盖板生产技术和利物浦大学对这种新型蓄热材料的研究成果。材料由用于储热的封装相变材料和外壳组成，外壳防止封装相变材料的释放并提供对磁性盖片表面的附着。相变材料种类繁多，保证了调温磁盖板在不同工作温度和条件下的广泛应用。我们的预期客户是家庭和企业业主，国家/理事会/政府建筑，医院。温控磁盖可应用于冰箱、炉灶、管道、散热器、锅炉等的背面，为终端用户提供高通用性，以节省热量。他们是薄到足以滚动和易于修剪（使货架上的产品，即B&Q/DIY仓库）。
