Abstract

Thermal cool storage relies on an inexpensive storage medium with
a high specific or latent heat (such as water, ice, or eutectic salts) to store
cooling produced during off-peak hours for use during peak hour s. Re-
frigeration is provided by conventional chillers or indus trial-grade ice-
making units which charge the storage tanks during off-peak hours. On-
peak cooling is pro v ided by circulating chilled liquid from storage
through the building's fan coils or a secondary heat exchan ger. The two
most common storage designs are chilled water storage and ice storage.
Ice storage tanks ha ve much smaller footprints and depths than chilled
water tanks of the same cooling capacity

This report on Thermal Cool Storage is abstracted from a profile developed by the Results Center, which is part of IRT Environment, Basalt, Colorado. The profile is one of a series on the most effective energy efficiency programs in North America; they are intended to provide a thorough understanding of the unique elements of successful utility activities .

Through the Results Center's profiles, utilities ha ve access to detailed information on a variety of planning, design, and implementation activities. The Results Center was formed in 1992 to publish profiles on highly successful energy-efficient efforts. Contact Ted Flanagan, c/o IRT Environment, P.O. Box 2239, Basalt, CO 81621, USA.
