How Phase Change Cooling works?
- Cool PaxTM are made up of phase change material sealed in polyurethane
- Cool PaxTM inserts solidify in temperatures below 14C
- Once solid, they cool by absorbing heat away from the body, thus maintaining a temperature of approximately 14C within the vest
- The vest can be activated in any environment where the temperature is below 14C (freezer, cooler etc)
- The inserts typically last 2-3 hrs and recharge in 35 mins.
- No airflow is required, ideal for humid environments or under heavy protective gear
- Can be stored in the freezer/chilling unit
- Chemical based cooling using Phase Change Material (PCM)
- PCM is lighter than water (70% the weight of water)
- There is no freezer burn, condensation or fluctuating temperatures w/PCM and they last longer than water based vests
- They are made of 100% Cotton
- Vests weight approx 5.5lbs
- PCM inserts can be made into a variety of shapes and sizes
- Vests come in M/L (100-175lbs), L/XL (175-250lbs) & 2XL (250-300lbs), Custom Increases productivity – Performance
- Reduces the risk of heat stress & OSHA concerns – Safety
- Improved employee satisfaction – Comfort
Science Behind CoolPax PCM
A Phase Change Material (PCM) is a substance with a high heat of fusion which, melts and solidifies at a certain temperature, is capable of storing and releasing large amounts of energy. Heat is absorbed or released when the material changes from solid to liquid and vice versa; thus, PCMs are classified as Latent Heat Storage (LHS) units.
