OverviewAn ice accumulator stores cooling energy as ice and supplies it as chilled water with a delivery temperature around ±0.5°C. It buffers thermal energy to cover short-term peaks in cooling demand without requiring a proportionally larger refrigeration unit or higher electrical power capacity. The system can also be charged during off-peak hours or using alternative energy sources such as solar.
Benefits- Environmentally friendly solution for load shifting
- Reduced energy costs by shifting consumption
- Prevents peak loads on the electrical grid
Features- Insulated stainless steel housing
- Low maintenance requirements
- Compatible with solar or other alternative energy charging
Technical specifications- Also called: ice bank
- Operating medium: ice water
- Typical delivery temperature: ±0.5°C
- Function: buffers and delivers cooling energy via ice water
- Use case: accommodates peaks in required cooling power without larger refrigeration or increased electrical capacity
- Enables limiting electrical consumption to selected times or using alternative energy sources (e.g., solar)
- Housing material: insulated stainless steel
- Maintenance: low maintenance costs
- Environmental impact: designed to reduce peak grid load and lower overall energy consumption
