40°C Phase-Change Material PCM Battery
Why This PCM Module?
The module uses phase-change latent heat to passively buffer battery temperature fluctuations. It is designed as a low-complexity thermal-management option for battery systems where energy consumption, noise, maintenance and installation space are important considerations.

Key Features
•Passive operation:
No external power supply, fans, pumps or wiring are required for the PCM thermal-management function.
•Bidirectional thermal buffering:
Absorbs excess heat as temperature rises and releases stored thermal energy as temperature falls.
•Thin module design:
Standard thickness options of 6 mm, 8 mm and 10 mm support space-constrained battery-pack integration.
•Sealed structure
Aluminum housing encloses the PCM core and internal thermal-conduction/guiding layer.
•Low maintenance:
No circulating coolant, pump or fan is required, reducing mechanical components and maintenance requirements.
•Customizable:
Dimensions can be customized to the customer's battery-pack geometry.
Working Principle
At elevated battery temperatures, the PCM absorbs thermal energy around the nominal 40°C phase-change point, helping buffer temperature rise. As temperature falls, the PCM releases stored thermal energy, providing passive thermal buffering. The actual temperature profile and thermal-management effect depend on the battery chemistry, pack design, heat generation rate, ambient conditions and module configuration.
Product Positioning & Selection
The 40°C model is intended for low-temperature regions, northern winter markets, portable outdoor energy storage and high-rate fast-charging scenarios.
Recommended positioning: Low-Temperature Model within the DM-BLC series.
