As the name suggests, they use ice to build and store cooling when cooling demand and/or energy rates are low (mostly overnight), which the system then uses for air-conditioning or process purposes when energy rates are high (mostly daytime).
Refrigeration systems up to 50% more compact
Operational cost savings: ice formed overnight with cheaper electricity
Lower energy consumption basing the cooling system on average conditions rather than peak reduces power requirements and the refrigerant charge
Reduced carbon footprint: Most of the cooling occurs overnight when condensing temperatures are lower and the cooling system requires less energy
Less compressor maintenance since the compressor operates continuously at full capacity and not under fluctuating partial load
Thermal storage systems provide back-up cooling
Overview
The TSU-C/D is an external melt system. Direct ice/water contact ensures a constant low water temperature. External melt is ideal for applications requiring constant near-freezing water temperatures (1 to 2°C).
– Minimum maintenance
– Environmentally friendly
– Proven technology
Principle of Operation
Overview
TSU-M is an internal melt system. Internal melt is ideal for air-conditioning involving cooling at higher temperatures.
– Constant supply temperature regardless cooling demand
– Minimum maintenance
– Environmentally friendly
– Proven technology
Principle of Operation
TSU-M is an internal melt system that produces and builds ice (1) around a coil (2) submerged in water (3), most of which freezes within the tank. The warm glycol (4) from the load circulates through the coil and melts the ice from the inside. The newly cooled glycol (5) is then pumped through the building cooling system or used to cool a secondary refrigerant that does the same.
Internal melt is ideal for air-conditioning involving cooling at higher temperatures than external melt.
Overview
TSC features only a coil for ice thermal storage applications. The concrete tanks housing this are typically part of the building infrastructure.
