LATENT COOLING (ENERGY) STORAGE VERSUS CHILLER POWER INSTALLED
LATENT COOLING (ENERGY) STORAGE VERSUS CHILLER POWER INSTALLED
(OP)
I'm coming back again to these fantastic foruns and may I propuse a quite wide and interesting matter, I believe: "LATENT COOLING (ENERGY) STORAGE VERSUS CHILLER POWER INSTALLED".
It is known that combining a chiller installation with a ice-rink ou a with whatelse cooling storage, (it should be a must in design!) we can save up 50 to 80 % on the size of the installed chiller power (and therefore associated electrical facilities, as well). Does anyone have experiences, case-studies, references about the state-of-art and the installations working properly. Because those I know, don't work efficiently, and that´s really a pity! Thank you all for any contribution.

You seem to assume that there are no associated costs for maintaining the storage facility, but nothing comes for free. The machinery for maintaining the temperature, for switching between the two modes of operation, the cost of the real estate itself, etc.
When the associated costs are included in the economic calculation, one may find that the payback is absurdly long or even nonexistent.

There are lots of other good reasons for ice or chw storage that don't need a 3-5 year payback to justify. Unreliable power supply and critical loads being the top bills.

There are quite a few diurnal storage systems in operation that have documented positive LCCA's; modular systems are available as well. It's not a one-size-fits-all approach; the LCCA should be done first. Local utilities demand side management programs might be available to offset part of the cost; the peak grid load would proably be coincident with the peak heating demand, depending on where you are at, and could pay you for peak load shedding.

BAC, the largest cooling tower manufacturer in my area, has packaged units for ice storage. Address is

Calmac might be another useful source for where the LCCA was positive.
