Are Phase Change Materials the Future of Water Heaters?

The future of insulation and hot water? A water heater like you've never seen. To get an EcoFlow Delta Max, Delta Pro or some of their great accessories, go to the EcoFlow website: https://us.ecoflow.com/?aff=195 or to Amazon: https://amzn.to/3vSDqhZ. When it comes to heating and cooling our homes, or producing hot water, a heat pump is one of the most energy efficient ways to go. However, there’s a category of material that can store heat for a water heater, or in insulation to reduce your heating and cooling needs. Phase change materials (PCM) have high energy storage properties, can be easy to install, and don’t take up a lot of space. We're essentially talking about a heat battery. Are phase change materials a good option for our homes? Let’s see if we can come to a decision on this.Check out Belinda Carr’s excellent videos on building science: https://youtu.be/tZtfieRzdl4And eFIXX Energy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1x4J2c7v9IWatch How the CO2 battery could be the future of energy storage? https://youtu.be/GSzh8D8Of0k?list=PLnTSM-ORSgi4dFnLD9622FK77atWtQVv7Video script and citations:https://undecidedmf.com/youve-never-seen-a-water-heater-like-this/Follow-up podcast:Video version - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4-aWB84Bupf5hxGqrwYqLAAudio version - http://bit.ly/stilltbdfmJoin the Undecided Discord server:https://geni.us/undecided-discord👋 Support Undecided on Patreon!https://www.patreon.com/mattferrell⚙️ Gear & Products I LikeTesla and smart home gear:https://kit.co/undecidedmfGreat sustainable products for your home:https://geni.us/buildwithriseUndecided Amazon store front:https://geni.us/undecidedAmazonFun, nerdy t-shirts:http://bit.ly/UndecidedShirtsAbstract Ocean Tesla Accessories:15% Discount - Code: "Undecided"http://bit.ly/UndecidedAOJeda Tesla Wireless Charger/USB Hub:http://bit.ly/UndecidedJedaTesla Referral Code:Get 1,000 free supercharging miles or a discount on Tesla Solar & Powerwallshttps://ts.la/matthew84515Visit my Energysage Portal:Research solar panels and get quotes for free!http://www.energysage.com/p/undecided/Or find community solar near you:https://communitysolar.energysage.com/?rc=p-undecided👉 Follow MeTwitter https://twitter.com/mattferrellhttps://twitter.com/undecidedMFInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/mattferrellhttps://www.instagram.com/undecidedmfFacebookhttps://www.facebook.com/undecidedMF/Websitehttps://undecidedmf.com📺 YouTube Tools I RecommendAudio file(s) provided by Epidemic Soundhttp://bit.ly/UndecidedEpidemicTubeBuddyhttps://www.tubebuddy.com/undecidedVidIQhttps://vidiq.com/undecidedI may earn a small commission for my endorsement or recommendation to products or services linked above, but I wouldn't put them here if I didn't like them.
