3.3.1 Types of PCM Packs
PCM Packs are available in 2 sizes: 0.3 L and 0.6 L.
l
The packs are designed for the following 4 specific temperature ranges:
l
Storage element
PCM+4
blue
PCM+22
green
PCM+37
yellow
PCM-32
orange
3.3.2 Preconditioning of the PCM packs
To ensure that the PCM packs are fully charged, they should be heated or cooled, as shown in
l
the table below, to a specific temperature for a specific time, depending on the ambient
temperature. The contents of a charged heat storage battery is completely liquid. The contents
of a charged cold storage battery is completely solid.
The values in the following table can be used as a guideline for preconditioning the PCM packs:
l
Ambient Temp.
> 4°C
> 22°C
> 37°C
< -32°C
< 4°C
< 22°C
< 37°C
N/A
NOTE: The PCM packs should be preconditioned for a minimum of 72 hours!
Important Guidance
If the ambient temperature lies above the required storage temperature, the PCM Pack should
l
be solid before use.
If the ambient temperature lies below the required storage temperature, the PCM Pack should
l
be liquid before use.
If you are unable to precondition the PCM to the approximate preconditioning temperature, you
l
can precondition to a higher or lower temperature, however make sure prior to loading your
product, that the PCM packs / internal temperature of the transport box does not greatly
exceed the necessary transport storage temperature range.
