Keep It Cool with Thermal Energy Storage
Temperatures are rising, but energy costs aren''t, thanks to an innovative way of storing nighttime off-peak energy for daytime peak use—cool thermal energy storage. Patrons
“Such radiative cooling effect has received significant recent interest, focusing on achieving cooling in various materials and on integration in energy-related applications, such as building cooling,” the scientist explained, noting that this flow may be used for power generation at night.
Cool Thermal Energy Storage is a new application of an old idea that can cut air conditioning energy costs in half while preparing your building for the future. Air conditioning of commercial buildings during summer daytime hours is the largest single contributor to electrical peak demand.
An Ice Bank® Cool Storage System, commonly called Thermal Energy Storage, is a technology which shifts electric load to of-peak hours which will not only significantly lower energy and demand charges during the air conditioning season, but can also lower total energy usage (kWh) as well.
Following this method, the choice of operational flow rate in the radiative sky cooling (RSC) panels and the water storage is based on four indicators: sub-ambient temperature, cooling power density, minimum storage temperature and useful energy stored.
In fact, Cool Storage systems are one of the electric suppliers' best option for increasing load factors on their generating equipment and avoiding the costs of new generating plants.
Cool Storage systems, however, are measured by the term “Ton-Hours” (or kW-h). Figure 1 represents a theoretical cooling load of 100 tons maintained for 10 hours, or a 1000 ton-hour cooling load. Each of the 100 squares in the diagram represents 10 ton-hours.
