Abstract
17C is a glass vessel that stores coolth against the climate change predictions for rising summer temperatures in Canberra. The vessel contains 6 litres of an inorganic salt that absorbs heat energy as it melts from a crystal to a liquid at 17C. The absorbed heat energy breaks up the crystal lattice and only when all of the salt has melted will the temperature of the material rise above 17C.
