Energy storage forced air cooling and air conditioning cooling

What is a cool storage system?

Cool storage systems are inherently more complicated than non-storage systems and extra time will be required to determine the optimum system for a given application. In conventional air conditioning system design, cooling loads are measured in terms of "Tons of Refrigeration" (or kW’s) required, or more simply "Tons”.

How a forced air cooling system works?

Experimental platform for the optimization of deflector angle and the cell space. In this platform, the walls of the forced air-cooling system are made of acrylic plates and the entire system is sealed except the air inlet and outlet. The air velocity is provided by the fan, and it is controlled by the fan regulator.

Does cool storage reduce energy consumption?

Cool storage will reduce the average cost of energy consumed and can potentially reduce the energy consumption and initial capital cost of a cooling system compared to a conventional cooling system without cool storage.

How is a forced air-cooling system optimized?

Subsequently, the deflector angle and cell space in the forced air-cooling system are optimized, respectively, based on the simplified multi-physics model, via an exhaustive search method and a genetic algorithm. Finally, the verification platform for the forced air-cooling system is built.

What factors affect the cooling efficiency of forced air-cooling system?

The deflector angle and the cell space are both important factors that could affect the cooling efficiency of the forced air-cooling system. This section completes the optimization design of these factors based on an 8-series 3-parallel battery pack. 3.1. The optimization of air inlet and outlet deflector angle

What is thermal energy storage for space cooling?

Thermal Energy Storage (TES) for space cooling, also known as cool storage, chill storage, or cool thermal storage, is a cost saving technique for allowing energy-intensive, electrically driven cooling equipment to be predominantly operated during off-peak hours when electricity rates are lower.
