FAQs
Your questions about air-cooled chiller plant systems, answered.
Air-cooled chiller plants or Thermal Battery™ plants create and store ice during periods of low electricity demand, typically at night when utility rates are lowest. The stored ice is then used during peak demand periods to provide cooling, reducing the need for additional costly electricity from the grid.
The system enhances energy use, helping to lead to lower utility costs, and fosters sustainability by consuming no water and supporting renewable energy integration. User-friendly dashboards and preprogrammed controls simplify monitoring, installation, and commissioning.
Air-cooled chillers, ice storage tanks, a system completion module, and programmed controls work together to help provide efficient and sustainable cooling, enhance energy use, assist in reducing peak energy demand, and lower utility costs.
Air-cooled chiller plants help to provide significant cost savings, improve energy use, promote sustainability and are easy to install.
