About Us
Fusion Phase Technologies Leads Energy Storage Into A Decarbonized, Energy Conservation Future.
Fusion Phase Technologies is a leader in energy storage innovation, specializing in advanced phase change materials (PCMs) for cool energy storage. The company’s primary focus is on enhancing the efficiency of cooling systems through cutting-edge technology.
Building on leading Eutectic PCM Cool Storage Technology, Fusion Phase Technologies introduces new PCMs that significantly reduce chiller operation and energy consumption by up to eighty percent. This innovation extends the technology originally developed by Transphase Systems, maximizing energy efficiency and operational effectiveness.
Our History
Pioneering Eutectic PCM Cool Storage System for Energy Storage and Efficiency
Transphase Systems, established by Mr. Ames in 1982 in Huntington Beach, CA, pioneered the use of Eutectic PCM Cool Storage Technology based on Mr. Ames’ development of a 47 degree F PCM. Between 1983 and 1995, the company installed over 90 major eutectic cool storage systems, utilizing its 47-degree F PCM. These systems collectively shifted and reduced on-peak energy demand by over 25 MW and provided over 150,000 ton-hours of cooling capacity in large commercial and industrial facilities.
Our Founder
Pioneering Eutectic PCM Cool Storage System for Energy Storage and Efficiency
Doug Ames, the founder and CEO of Fusion Phase Technologies and Transphase Systems, has over twenty years experience in the development, manufacturing, engineering and deployment of eutectic PCM cool storage systems. He began his career working with Dr. Maria Telkes. Dr. Telkes has been named the “Sun Queen” for her pioneering work in the use of phase change materials (PCMs) for solar heat storage. Mr. Ames worked with Dr. Telkes in the application of PCMs for various industries, including solar heat storage.
Mr. Ames extended this work to the use of PCMs for cooling, starting Transphase in 1982. As CEO of Transphase, he was responsible for all aspects of the company’s operations, including manufacturing with in-house blow molding and mixing, filling and sealing operations, and applied system design and operations.
Recognizing the urgent emphasis on decarbonization and energy conservation, Mr. Ames has advanced Transphase technology by starting Fusion Phase Technologies. He has developed Fusion 52, Fusion 58, and Fusion 64 PCMs to provide unmatched decarbonization and conservation benefits.
As CEO of Transphase, Mr. Ames was EPRI’s principal investigator in developing a 41-degree F PCM. He holds over 10 patents in the field of Eutectic PCM Cool Storage Systems and has recently applied for four additional patents concerning the new Fusion PCMs.
Mr. Ames had also been an attorney in California but has ceased his law practice to devote 100% of his professional energies to Fusion Phase Technologies.
Our Mission
Transforming Energy Storage Into Decarbonization and Energy Conservation
Our mission is to transform energy storage to maximize decarbonization by cooling facilities without mechanical refrigeration. We add redundancy and safety to the central cooling plant without HCFCs or any refrigerant at all.
By eclipsing traditional energy storage methods, we are committed to reducing our carbon footprint and ensuring a resilient energy ecosystem for generations to come.
