Thermo-regulating magnetic coverings for storing and releasing lost heat

近一半的能源消耗用于生产热水和为我们居住的家庭供暖。如果这些能源因为我们家庭内部的能源控制不善而被浪费掉，那就太多了。该项目的重点是制造家庭和工业用的节能新产品。我们的新产品是具有调温性能的磁性装饰盖板。调温磁罩使用方便，可包裹任何钢材表面，在高温下节省热量，在低温下释放。演示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，交替加热和停机。当锅炉开着时，暖气片里的热水就会给房子供暖。然而，当锅炉关闭时，没有外部供暖。在散热器表面应用具有温度调节特性的磁性盖板，可以储存热量，并在锅炉关闭时(通常在夜间)自动释放热量。这项技术将使房子全天保持温暖，从而节省汽油或电费。磁片可以很容易地从散热器表面附着或移除，因此不需要特殊的安装。同样的方法也可以应用于工业中，利用热水管道产生的废热来供暖室内工厂区域。该项目结合了Radraps现有的盖板生产技术和利物浦大学对这种新型储热材料的研究成果。材料由封装的相变储热材料和壳体组成，壳体防止封装的相变材料释放，并提供对磁性盖板表面的附着。种类繁多的相变材料将保证调温磁性盖板在不同的工作温度和条件下具有广泛的应用范围。我们的预期客户是家庭和企业主、国务院/政府大楼、医院。调温磁罩可应用于冰箱、炉灶、管道、散热器、锅炉等的背面，为终端用户节省热量提供了高度的通用性。它们足够薄，可以卷曲，很容易修剪(为百安居/DIY仓库提供现成产品)。

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).
