Container energy storage system cooling checklist

How do I design a thermal ice storage system?

Select either external melt or internal melt as the basis of design of the thermal ice storage system. Most thermal ice storage system designs will be for partial storage. However, full storage should be considered in areas where energy supplies are limited or very expensive.

What is a shipping container?

le shipping container for simple installation on board any vessel. The standard deliv-ery includes batteries, power converters for shore connection and connection to the ship’s power sys-tem, Energy St rage Control System, cooling and ventilation, and fire protection. The solution is ideal for both r

What is the ice build Chiller & Ice storage capacity?

The design day peak cooling load is 24,640 kW and the electric on-peak demand period is 10 hours (10:00 AM to 20:00 PM). The ice storage capacity is 107,360 kW-hrs. The ice build chiller and its accessories do not operate during the demand period. The conventional chillers provide cooling for the non-peak hours.

How should a thermal ice storage system be commissioned?

For either type of thermal ice storage system, commissioning aids should be installed that will enable the operator to both manually and electronically verify the status of every component (on/off, open/closed, etc). Verifying fluid temperature and pressure at the inlet and outlet of each component is essential.

What construction materials are used for ice storage containers?

Common construction materials are reinforced concrete and steel. Location: Ice storage containers may be located totally below grade, partially buried or completely above grade. They can be designed as an integral part of the cooling plant or placed in a remote location.

What are the components of an ice storage system?

These components include: chillers, pumps (glycol, chilled water and ice water), ice storage container, ice build zone valves, modulating control valves, primary and secondary loops, and heat exchangers. Time of day operation of these components is critical for ice storage systems to avoid high demand costs.
