How do I design a thermal ice storage system?

Select either external melt or internal melt as the basis of design of the thermal ice storage system. Most thermal ice storage system designs will be for partial storage. However, full storage should be considered in areas where energy supplies are limited or very expensive.

How should a thermal ice storage system be commissioned?

For either type of thermal ice storage system, commissioning aids should be installed that will enable the operator to both manually and electronically verify the status of every component (on/off, open/closed, etc). Verifying fluid temperature and pressure at the inlet and outlet of each component is essential.

What are the components of an ice storage system?

These components include: chillers, pumps (glycol, chilled water and ice water), ice storage container, ice build zone valves, modulating control valves, primary and secondary loops, and heat exchangers. Time of day operation of these components is critical for ice storage systems to avoid high demand costs.

Do thermal ice storage systems require air agitation?

Internal melt thermal ice storage systems generally do not require the air agitation pump. However, if air agitation is used, the commissioning of the system will be the same as described for external melt.

What temperature ice storage system is designed?

The distribution system is designed with a 11.1°C delta-T (2.22°C to 13.3°C) The thermal ice storage equipment, size and performance are indicated below. Ice storage coils: EVAPCO Model IPCB – 266 (120 coils) (107,360 kW-hrs.) The conventional chilled water system flow schematic is shown here.
