Control strategies and energy consumption for ice storage systems using heat recovery and cold air distribution.

Author(s) : HITTLE D. C., SMITH T. R.

Summary

The paper reports the results of an investigation into the energy consumption of an ice storage system, with and without heat recovery and with and without cold air distribution systems. Simulation of a prototypical building in several different climates provided the basis for comparison. Results showed that a "smart" control strategy is needed to make ice storage with heat recovery efficient. This strategy tries to melt just enough ice so that the recovered heat generated to remake this ice is enough to meet the daily heating demand. As expected, cold air distribution significantly reduced energy use. Cold deck reset proved disadvantageous in this case.
