What is an ice battery?

The Ice battery is an innovative energy storage solution designed to shift electricity use from peak hours, when rates are high, to off-peak hours when rates are low. It eliminates the need for high-priced peak power, boosts grid resiliency and increases energy efficiency.

How much electricity does an Ice Cube use?

The ice can deliver a 5-ton cooling load for up 6 hours every day, during which time the only electrical load is a small refrigerant pump requiring only 5% of a compressor’s electrical draw. Ice Cubs are like Ice Bears but are designed for houses and unlike the Ice Bear the Ice Cub integrates the primary AC unit and storage unit into one package.

How does ice energy work?

Ice Energy’s technology gives utilities full control of consumer cooling loads. It changes the way utilities manage peak demand and helps them transform air conditioning load into a clean, flexible and responsive grid resource. How does the system work --- what conditions are required --- what benefits are provided?

How reliable are Ice batteries?

Ice batteries have unparalleled reliability, 98% + over 35 million operating hours. Ice Bears and Ice Cubs are environmentally friendly with none of the waste heat, thermal runaway, spill, or disposal issues associated with chemical batteries. The storage medium is tap water, with the tank filled once.

Who makes Ice Bears & ice cubes?

Ice Bears and Ice Cubs can be manufactured by most competent contract manufacturers, and can be installed and maintained by any properly licensed local HVAC contractor, with a small amount of training by Ice Energy.

Are Ice Bears & ice cubes environmentally friendly?
