Thermal Battery Ice-Enhanced Air-Cooled Chiller Plant

Trane's air-cooled chiller plant makes thermal battery cooling easy

Overview

Thermal Battery™ cooling made easy.

Simplify design and installation of thermal energy storage with Trane’s Ice-Enhanced Air-Cooled Chiller Plant, helping to reduce energy costs and delivering flexible, sustainable cooling.

  1. Cost Savings

    Trane's Thermal Battery Air Cooled Chiller Plant operates chillers at night with ambient relief to enhance performance, reduce peak electrical demand to lower energy bills, earn incentives and lower initial costs and maintenance by downsizing chiller capacity.

  2. Simplified

    The Trane-designed, built, and functionally tested pump skid reduces system complexity, design, and commissioning time.

  3. Reliable

    Thermal Battery Air Cooled Chiller Plant maintenance is simplified through Trane parts identification and a single-provider warranty, providing long-term reliability.

  4. User-Friendly Monitoring

    Simple dashboards enable users to easily monitor system operation, including available stored energy, energy use, peak energy demand reduction versus baseline, and estimated cost savings.

FAQs

Your questions about air-cooled chiller plant systems, answered.

A Thermal Battery™ air-cooled chiller plant is a system that stores thermal energy in the form of ice during periods of low electricity demand.

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.
