The GLASSX ® crystal method of functioning.GLASSXcrystal integrates 4 system components in a functional unit:

transparent heat insulation, protection from overheating, energy conversion and thermal storage.

A triple insulating glazing unit provides the system with excellent thermal insulation

of a U-value of U=0,48 W/m2K. A prismatic pane in the outermost air-gap reflects the solar radiation

at high altitudes in summer and transmits it at altitudes below 35° in winter. As a key component acts the slim

heat storage module, equivalent to a storage capacity of about 20 cm concrete. The storage material is a

salt hydrate PCM (Phase Change Material). Solar heat is stored in the PCM by means of a melting process.

During night time and the following days the stored heat is delivered to the interior during recristallisation.

The salt hydrate is contained in a Polycarbonate box. The interior toughened glass pane could optionally be

coated with a screen printing. The whole system appears as a translucent wall.

Versatile, innovative and completely maintenance free Maintenance and lifetime GLASSX®crystal is a translucent wall element without any mechanical components or electronic devices. Thus the functionality may be guaranteed over a long lifetime without maintenance.

High sur face temperatures (26 °C to 28 °C) on the inside of the element lead to more

thermal comfor t and thus the comfor t in the home.

GLASSXcr ystal functions as a solar tiled stove,room comfor t. In winter, the inner side ofand pleasant radiant heat, which significantly improves thegiving of f uniform

Comfort

Ef ficiencyGLASSXcr ystal has a high ef ficiency because line and storage losses do not apply.This system has no threshold losses; energy is input even in the case of dif fuse solar radiation.
