ClathriX™ ColdStore

Cold thermal energy storage for data centre cooling

ClathriX™ ColdStore is a PCM-based cold storage equipment concept designed to store and release cooling energy, reduce peak cooling demand, support waterless cooling, and improve data-centre resilience.

TriPhaseX™ PCM Core

Advanced phase change material stores cold energy and releases it when cooling demand increases.

1. Charge during low-demand periods
2. Store cooling capacity in PCM
3. Discharge during peak cooling load
4. Reduce energy cost and water dependency

Cooling demand is becoming harder to control

AI workloads, higher rack densities, grid pressure, energy prices, and water constraints are making traditional cooling strategies more expensive and less resilient.

Peak energy cost

ColdStore helps shift cooling demand away from expensive peak periods and reduce chiller stress.

💧

Water constraints

The system supports lower-water and waterless cooling strategies for data centres in constrained locations.

🔥

Thermal resilience

Stored cooling capacity can support reliability during demand spikes, unstable grid periods, or high-density operation.

How ClathriX™ ColdStore works

A practical thermal-storage pathway for reducing cooling cost and improving resilience.

1

Charge

Cooling energy is stored during low-demand or lower-cost operating periods.

2

Store

TriPhaseX™ PCM stores cold energy through phase change with high thermal stability.

3

Discharge

Stored cooling is released during peak thermal demand or grid-pressure periods.

4

Optimise

The facility can reduce peak cooling load, water dependency, and operational risk.
