About Phase Change Material (PCM) Phase change materials (PCM) are substances that absorb and release thermal energy during the process of melting and freezing. When a PCM freezes, it releases a large amount of energy in the form of latent heat at a relatively constant temperature. Conversely, when such material melts, it absorbs a large amount of heat from the environment. PCMs recharge as ambient temperatures fluctuate, making them ideal for a variety of everyday applications that require temperature control. How it all works The included 2 sets of interchangeable PCMs (1 set for HOT weather and 1 set of COLD weather) are inserted in the inside mesh pockets and keep the inside temperature within the range (59 - 86 F or 15 - 30 C) of permitted excursion temperatures for epinephrine for up to 2 hours of continued exposure to outside ambient temperatures not below 11 deg C or above 34 deg C . Recharging The PCMs are rechargeable without the use of batteries - Just take them back to room temperature for 20-25 minutes or for a quick recharge run or soak them under room temperature tap water for about 5-10 minutes. PCM 18 & 29 supplied by Microtek Labs.
