The Rise of ICE STORAGE TANKS in HVAC Systems

摘要

Every building manager is constantly searching for ways to reduce operating costs while also keeping their buildings "green." One of the areas where they can greatly reduce costs is in their building's heating and cooling systems. One cost-reducing concept that has been gaining popularity is the use of ice storage tanks in cooling systems. Simply put, an ice storage system makes ice to decrease the cost of cooling a building. A typical ice tank system usually consists of a glycol loop connecting a designated ice-making chiller or built-up refrigeration system with the ice storage tanks, a heat exchanger, piping and pumps.
