Information
MELT is a green tech spin-off from Mannheim University of Applied Sciences. Its large-scale, freely scalable latent storage panels for wall and roof structures help to stabilize the room temperature in buildings. Large amounts of heat can thus be stored at a comfortable temperature. The solution is an ideal addition to lightweight and particularly resource-saving building structures made of wood and in modular and container construction, as these are normally subject to greater temperature fluctuations due to their lack of mass.
The storage panels installed in the building envelope serve as natural overheating protection in summer and as intermediate heat storage in winter. As the availability of renewable energy fluctuates naturally, the MELT Plates provide greater flexibility in terms of heating times, which favors the use of renewables.

MELT Plate
The MELT Plate is the first product from MELT-Ing GmbH. A square meter sized spatially scalable plate with phase change material. The melting temperatures 21°C, 25°C, 29°C are currently available, which cover the areas of room temperature buffering and heat protection. Further materials for higher temperature levels are in the pipeline.
We are currently in the approval process for the construction industry and are focusing primarily on pilot customers and future partners for product integration in prefabricated walls, prefabricated roofs and modular construction
Research in the field of heat storage with latent storage materials
The founders of MELT-Ing GmbH have many years of research experience in the field of latent heat storage. In this context, we are happy to participate in research projects as a company partner. This research can include the MELT Plate or PCM in general.

Research assignment - Overheating of storage containers
As part of a research project, a 10-foot storage container was fitted with MELT Plates on the outside. The aim was to investigate the reduction of "hot days" above 30°C, which are regularly reached in these lightweight steel containers even in spring. The modification had to be retrofittable and change the outer geometry of the containers only minimally. The thin MELT Plates with a high thermal buffer effect offer an optimum solution here.
The MELT Plate was tested against various other solutions that change the emission properties of the container in particular, and against unmodified steel containers in two standard paint finishes.
The container equipped with MELT Plates showed a reduction in heat days from 45 to 7 days compared to the reference. In addition, the average temperature fluctuations over the day were reduced from 11K! to 5K.
The results were published in a paper, which we are happy to make available.
