This device, know as the PCM, is an internal heat exchanger that will absorb heat generated by the carbon dioxide scrubbers to assist the coolant canisters in maintaining cool breathing temperatures. The device contains a phase change material that will regenerate once it has cooled. This device is a required component for NIOSH certified units and an optional component for EN145 and MA certified units.
