| Cowa Thermal Solutions |
2019 LU Validation |
[ Energy Storage ] | Components: Physical & chemical & nano tech, Energy: Storage other than batteries |
| We develop compact thermal energy storage systems based on phase change materials for building services engineering and industrial plants. Our technology can be ideally combined with renewable energy sources and increases their own consumption by linking supply and demand of energy through our storage systems. COWA-Caps increase the storage capacity of water-based thermal energy storage systems by exploiting the melting and solidification processes of the filling material (phase change material PCM). COWA-Caps filled with PCM can be easily inserted into existing or new hot water, buffer or cold storage tanks. By selecting the PCM, the storage tank temperature can be ideally adapted to the application. | |||

Therefore we decided to expand our webshop for beeswax cloths with high quality, fresh food from the region and to offer a delivery service. The region of Seetal and its surroundings has many innovative producers, whose products are made with the greatest care, and who are often not known. The delivery service Seetal wants to make these producers better known and act as a distribution channel for family businesses. We offer our customers a wide range of products, delivered fresh to your doorstep by our own delivery service. With every order you make an important contribution to the added value in the region. | |||
