Summer heat storage for winter

You will not have to spend much money on heating systems at home anymore. Because this technology will storeThe heat of summer makes your lovely home warm in winter.

Heating an entire house takes a lot of energy. Whether you use an electric heating system, a traditional oil, gas or wood stove, keeping your home warm enough during the winter can be a hassle and expensive task. But there’s a new way to tap into nature’s endless supply of heat.

Researchers at Swiss Federal Laboratories, which specializes in materials testing, have successfully developed a technology that allows you to store heat almost indefinitely, so that the heat of summer will be the source of heat for your beloved home in winter.

This technology uses the chemical Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH), which we often call alkaline solution, to store heat. Surely readers still remember the 8th grade chemistry exercise about the properties of NaOH, when in contact with water, Sodium Hydroxide will create a strong exothermic chemical reaction.

In sunlight, the water evaporates, drying out the lye solution and the reaction starts again. Solid NaOH is very stable, which means you can keep it in the fridge for months, even years, as long as it doesn't come into contact with water.

It’s simple in theory, but not so in practice, and that’s where this new technology shines. It optimizes the solidification of NaOH to minimize heat loss, ensure long-term storage, and help disperse heat efficiently into your home’s heating system.

The technology is still in its early stages, but the researchers are looking for funding to bring it to market. Soon you could be using it to cut your home heating costs and save some money.
