Venture Builder for ClimateBerlinCenter for Innovation · MunichData centers, EV charging hubs, battery systems, cold storage and buildings all face short, intermittent, unpredictable thermal spikes. To stay safe, their cooling runs harder than it needs to, all the time, wasting energy and capacity that never comes back.
Plateau is a passive phase-change material that fits into existing systems. When a spike hits, it absorbs the heat, so cooling never has to overreact and the temperature stays steady.
Cooling ramps and cycles hard, then locks into a colder, less efficient setpoint. Energy and capacity are lost.
Temperature stays steady. Cooling holds its setpoint and cycles less, passively, with no intervention.
No electrical load. No controls. No redesign. A passive module that fits into your existing system and works the moment a spike arrives.
A compute burst, a charging session, a defrost cycle or a demand peak drives temperature toward its limit within minutes.
The phase-change material changes state and stores the heat within seconds, so your cooling never sees the transient.
Between spikes the material resets during normal operation, ready for the next cycle. No intervention, no downtime.
A temperature-tunable PCM platform from 5–35 °C means the same core technology defends very different infrastructure.
AI and high-density workloads create short bursts of heat that push cooling toward its limits. Operators respond by running colder than needed and oversizing equipment.
Plateau absorbs each burst inside the cooling system, so setpoints can stay higher and capacity is freed, without adding active cooling.
During high-power charging, the power electronics and cables generate intense, short heat bursts. The thermal-management hardware and grid connection get sized for these rare peaks.
Plateau buffers the heat bursts inside the charger's thermal management, so cooling hardware can be smaller and peak power draw is smoothed.
Fast charging, high discharge and abuse conditions cause rapid, localised temperature rise between cells, the trigger for thermal runaway.
Placed between cells and modules, Plateau absorbs the heat surge, buying safety margin, slowing propagation and easing the load on active cooling.
Heating, cooling and district systems face short demand peaks and defrost cycles that force equipment to cycle hard and let indoor temperature drift.
Plateau buffers these peaks within the system, holding a steady indoor climate and cutting both heating and cooling energy, without oversizing.
Door openings, defrost cycles and burst process loads cause temperature excursions and force compressors to start hard and often.
Plateau holds temperature through the excursion, reducing compressor starts and protecting product, in a compact footprint.
