This clinic focuses on a glycol-based ice storage system, which use an ice-chiller to cool a heat transfer fluid—often a mixture of water and antifreeze, such as glycol—to a temperature below the freezing point of water. This fluid is pumped through an ice storage system tank, causing water inside the tank to freeze.
Topics include:
- Benefits of an ice storage system
- On-peak versus off-peak
- Ice storage tank
- Full storage versus partial storage
- Ice-making chiller
- Heat transfer fluid
- Ethylene glycol versus propylene glycol
- Common system layouts (small versus large systems)
- Retrofitting existing systems
- Control of ice storage systems
