Energy is stored in a patented energy-dense phase change material to deliver hot water reliably, safely and efficiently. Despite having sold over 30,000 times already, the technology is still to be considered as relatively new in the space and water heating market in the UK, where bulky cylinders using water as the thermal storage medium are the norm. Today, most policies, norms, standards and calculation methods used by installers, planners, policy makers and investors are based on the incumbent technology, with latent heat batteries not finding adequate representation. This project will help to address the barriers against the adoption of our technology by helping to include them in the future version of the UK's Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) - the Home Energy Model (HEM) - a key instrument for ensuring that buildings and their energy systems are compliant with UK energy efficiency and carbon reductino targets and laws. Not being include in SAP and/or the future HEM is a barrier to further market adoption of the technology as it is a pre-requisite for large-scale adoption in the new build sector as well as in retrofit programs such as ECO4 or others. In order to address this issue Sunamp is working with policymakers and modellers to ensure that the HEM will include latent and other types of heat batteries. This project will contribute to this goal by providind key support in developing and refining the test method and generating the data required to validate the model to be included in HEM.

In the HESPER project (Heat Store & Processor for Emissions Reduction) developed in the IDP8 framework Sunamp Ltd, Zytek Automotive Ltd and University of Edinburgh intend to demonstrate via tests of HSP at the vehicle sub-system and system levels that: 1.CO2 emission from internal combustion engine (ICE) used in conventional, start/stop, hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles can be drastically reduced by thermal pre-conditioning of the cylinder head and catalytic converter; 2. range extension and homogeneity (specifically in variable weather conditions) for electrified vehicles (HEVs, PHEVs, BEVs) can be achieved, avoiding electric battery oversizing; 3. fuel cells startup in cold climate can be facilitated and stresses on electrochemical components reduced; 4. the overall system related to thermal management can be drastically simplified; 5. materials at the core of the technology are safe in automotive environments; 6. the technology can achieve Technology Readiness Level 5 for automotive applications.

Originally developed for static applications such as solar thermal, this project investigates the benefits HSP can deliver in two critical automotive applications: 1. Reduction of emissions and enhanced fuel efficiency for Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles 2. Range extension (specifically in variable weather conditions) for Electric Vehicles (EVs) Known HSP characteristics are mapped against these challenges to calculate potential performance. Sunamp is expecting to partner in the automotive space to take the technology to market.

We call these devices heat batteries. They have been successfully deployed on residential and commercial housing schemes for more than five years and are now being used to address thermal management challenges on vehicles. Battery electric (BEV) and hybrid electric vehicle (HEV - in electric mode) range is comprised in cold conditions, up to 50% in temperatures down to -30ºC. Typical best in class HEVs (cars and vans) only achieve between 29-35 miles (NEDC), winter will significantly impact that range. This application looks at the challenge of maintaining HEV cabin heating when the engine is off. Doing so will extend range but also reduce emissions in this mode, as the IC engine is off, and the cabin heating is only powered by the HV battery, quickly depleting the limited stored energy. When this happens and the IC engine has cooled off below the stop start threshold, the IC engine restarts, giving an emissions spike as it slowly warms up. The emissions are less the quicker the engine gets back to optimal temperature, and this was proven in two NVN funded projects completed in 2017 and 2019\. Both these projects showed that we could significantly reduce hybrid electric double decker bus cold start emissions (around 50%) and maintain engine temperature and cabin heating throughout the TfL low emission bus test cycle. Waste heat was captured from the engine coolant, in this feasibility study we will investigate the improvement by capturing high grade heat from the engine exhaust gas stream. Sunamp has teamed up with IAV, a leading automotive engineering consultancy, to stabilise the high temperature PCM needed for this application; simulate the impact of adding heat battery sub system into the vehicle cabin heating system; designing a concept that could feature in a future R&D programmes and develop the business model to best maximise the market opportunity.

The 2011 Carbon Plan requires virtually zero carbon buildings in UK by 2050. Heat storage is a key component when generating heat from intermittent renewable sources or to shift heat production to off-peak periods while heat consumption remains on-peak. Today, water-based thermal stores are commmon in the UK, but their large size make them undesirable or impossible to fit in smaller dwellings. Sunamp's Heat Battery technology uses Phase Change Materials to shrink heat storage to around one quarter the size of equivalent hot water thermal stores. This project allows Sunamp to develop a network of sensors that can accurately measure the State of Charge of Heat Batteries. This refined measurement will allow Sunamp to optimise the control strategy of the whole system, improving performance, energy saving and financial payback.
