Product Description

Ice bank

The Ice Bank system is a simple technology based on storing cooling capacity at night and using it the following day to cool. At night when electricity is generated at less cost, chillers cool fluid and store it normally as chilled water or ice. During daytime when electricity is more expensive the chiller is turned off and the stored cooling is used to meet the building cooling load requirements.

Storage capacities up to *5.**0 Kg of ice (***0 kWh) per unit

Lower temperatures at night allow refrigeration equipment to operate more efficiently than during the day, reducing energy consumption. Less chiller capacity is required, which means lower initial capital equipment costs. Using off-peak electricity to store cooling energy reduces peak daytime power consumption, forestalling the need for additional expensive power plants.

Available in all possible sizes and capacities.
