The future prospects of ice energy storage air conditioning

What is ice-storage air-conditioning technology?

Ice-storage air-conditioning technology is a kind of phase change energy storage. It makes use of the valley load electricity to make ice to storage cool at night and melt ice into water during daytime peak hours. It can release the amount of cool stored in the ice and supply cooling capacity to the load end with refrigeration unit.

How many people use ice-storage air-conditioning system?

In 1993, the number of the users of ice-storage air-conditioning system is only 2, but this figure increased to 716 by 2015 . It is divided into static ice-storage system and dynamic ice-storage system according to different ice making methods.

What is ice-storage air conditioning system state forecasting model?

System state forecasting model is developed with dynamic update. Economic and energy saving benefits of the IAC system is significantly improved. Optimal operation of ice-storage air conditioning (IAC) system is beneficial to balance the power grid pressure, enhance load flexibility and reduce system operating costs.

What are the advantages of ice-crystal type ice storage air-conditioning system?

Ice-crystal type ice-storage air-conditioning system not only has the advantages of stable ice making and ice melting process and large energy-storage density, but also can save the storage space of the system and have a strong adaptability.It has good energy saving effect and economic benefit.

Can icebrick ice thermal energy storage reduce air conditioning costs?

Nostromo’s ‘Icebrick’ ice thermal energy storage technology has the potential to cut both the environmental and financial cost of air conditioning for large commercial buildings.

Why should you choose a static ice-storage air-conditioning system?

Under the condition of satisfying certain conditions, the system can achieve the same level of investment as the conventional air-conditioning system, even lower, and the actual running cost is lower than that of the conventional air-conditioning system or the static ice-storage air-conditioning system at the same time .
