RUBITHERM® RT is a pure PCM, this heat storage material utilising the processes
of phase change between solid and liquid (melting and congealing) to store and
release large quantities of thermal energy at nearly constant temperature.
The RUBITHERM® phase change materials (PCM’s) provide a very effective means
for storing heat and cold, even when limited volumes and low differences in
operating temperature are applicable.

Properties:

• high thermal energy storage capacity
• heat storage and release take place at relatively constant temperatures
• no supercooling effect, chemically inert
• long life product, with stable performance through the phase change cycles
• melting temperature range between -4 °C and 100 °C

The creation of the latent heat blended material RUBITHERM® SP has led to a new and innovative class of low flammability PCM. RUBITHERM® SP consists of a unique composition of inorganic components.
RUBITHERM® SP is preferably used as macroencapsulated material. Densities of 1,0 kg/l and more can be achieved. This and all properties mentioned below make RUBITHERM® SP to the preferred PCM used in the construction industry. Both passive and active cooling can easily be realized e.g. in wall elements and air conditioners.

Properties:

• stable performance throughout the phase change cycles
• high thermal storage capacity per volume
• limited supercooling, low flammablity, non toxic
• different melting temperatures between -21°C and 70°C are avaible

RUBITHERM® PX is a heat storage powder which contains phase change material
(PCM) within a secondary supporting structure, in this case a hydrophilic silica
powder. The result is that the bound PCM is always a solid in its macroscopic
form. Used in thermal energy storage applications, the bound PCM melts and
congeals, thus storing and releasing the latent heat associated with the phase
change process.
Advantageous is that for many applications, large quantities of thermal energy
can be stored and released at a relatively constant temperature, even when
limited volumes and low differences in operating temperature are applicable.

Properties:

• high thermal energy storage capacity
• heat storage and release take place at relatively constant temperatures
• no supercooling effect, chemically inert, almost no volumen expansion
• long life product, with stable performance through the phase change cycles
• melting temperature range between approx. -4°C and 100 °C

RUBITHERM® GR is a heat storage granulate which contains phase change
material (PCM) within a secondary supporting structure, in this case a natural
porous mineral particle. Used in thermal energy storage applications, the bound
PCM melts and congeals, thus storing and releasing the latent heat associated
with the phase change process.
In RUBITHERM® GR our patented mechanism ensures that the PCM, when in the
liquid form, does not leak out of the granulate. The result is that the bound PCM
is always a solid in its macroscopic form. Advantageous is that for many
applications, large quantities of thermal energy can be stored and released at a
relatively constant temperature, even when limited volumes and low differences
in operating temperature are applicable.

Properties:

• heat storage and release take place at relatively constant temperatures
• bound PCM’s exhibit little volume change during phase change
• operate without fluid materials, easy handling
• long life product, cycles rugged, easy handling
• melting temperatures range between –3 °C and 100 °C.
• various granulate sizes are possible

The CSM modules are Rubitherm’s standard multi-purpose PCM panels. They are made from aluminium with an efficient anti-corrosion coating and can be filled with both our RT and SP materials, providing maximum flexibility to the user, depending on intended use.

external dimensions: 450 x 300 mm, Aluminium thickness 0,5mm
The heat storage capacity of RT and RT HC varies in dependence of the exact PCM which is filled into the CSM-Panel. The values given are for orientational purposes only.
