After measurements carried out in the laboratories of TECNALIA and NOBATEK, new version of the SMHRU and LHTES have been designed and next manufactured by ELVAL. The systems were next sent to Anglet in order to be assembled and installed on the test bench.

Regarding the LHTES, in this version the Phase Change Materials in the LHTES are encapsulated in phase change materials. Custom-made dampers allow to change effectively from one circuit to another while ensuring air tightness.
The assembling and installation process was assessed, and first feedbacks were analysed.

The BEMs allow to collect the data measured by the sensors and pilot effectively both systems.
A series of onsite tests will now be carried out.
