Ultra-fast thermal mats could power homes, or radically reduce energy
How's this for a set of promises? Flint Engineering claims its new, flat, thermal-transfer "IsoMat" can power entire homes, cut refrigerator energy consumption by 30%, and radically speed up EV charging while also extending battery life.
Flint Engineering claims its new, flat, thermal-transfer "IsoMat" can power entire homes, cut refrigerator energy consumption by 30%, and radically speed up EV charging while also extending battery life. Commercial refrigerators, says the company, could be 30% more efficient if they used IsoMat shelves, which would chill things through direct contact, in addition to the regular cold air circulation gear. It's fair to say this could be a seriously big deal, given that according to the International Institute of Refrigeration, cooling accounted for around 20% of the world's energy consumption in 2019 if you include things like air con.
