Dry ice energy storage

What is ice energy storage?

The building technology company leitec® took a different path: an ice energy storage system provides the necessary energy. WAGO technology controls the interplay among the systems, plus all the building automation. Energy is created when water freezes to form ice.

Can ice thermal energy storage reduce energy consumption in air-conditioning systems?

Energy consumption of ITES system with that for conventional one were compared. One method for reducing electricity consumption in an air-conditioning (AC) system is using ice thermal energy storage (ITES) system. ITES systems are divided into two categories, full and partial operating modes (FOM and POM).

What is ice thermal storage system?

The ice thermal storage system, the base of which is the temperature stratified water thermal storage, is adopted to make the size of the thermal storage tank smaller and improve the thermal storage efficiency by reducing the heat-loss. 1.

How do ice storage systems work?

Like conventional chilled water systems, there may be seasonal changes initiated by a monthly date or ambient temperature. The ice storage control system may be interconnected to other large electric energy using equipment to provide energy management beyond just the HVAC components.

Do you need thermal ice storage?

Comfort air conditioning systems are ideal candidates for thermal ice storage. Large horsepower cooling compressors operate during peak summer energy periods. Thermal ice storage can transfer all or part of this energy to non-peak hours. Cooling may be required year round in some locations, while only seasonally in others.

How much water does an ice energy storage system hold?

Their ice energy storage system, consisting of an underground cement tank ten meters in diameter and six meters deep, holds up to 400,000 liters of water. “The system works quite well,” says Bernd Apitz, CEO and owner of leitec®. “We were among the first companies to build an ice energy storage system of this magnitude.”
