DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR MODULAR GLYCOL ICE STORAGE SYSTEMS.

Author(s) : MACCRACKEN C. D.

Summary

THE DESIGN PROCESS FOR COOL STORAGE IS REVIEWED WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO MODULAR ICE STORAGE USING STANDARD CHILLERS. DECISIONS REGARDING PARTIAL VERSUS FULL STORAGE, INDOOR VERSUS OUTDOOR STORAGE LOCATION, USE OF HEAT EXCHANGERS, LOW TEMPERATURE VERSUS STANDARD DUCT AIR TEMPERATURES, CONTROL OPTIONS, AND CONVENTIONAL HEAT VERSUS HEAT PUMPING ARE DISCUSSED. AN ECONOMIC COMPARISON IS GIVEN. FINALLY, A DESIGN METHOD, COST ANALYSIS, AND ENERGY AND DEMAND CALCULATIONS ARE PRESENTED FOR A SPECIFIC EXAMPLE. THE MODULAR GLYCOL ICE STORAGE SYSTEMS ARE LOWER IN FIRST COST THAN STANDARD CHILLED WATER SYSTEMS BUT ALSO LOWER IN BOTH DEMAND AND ENERGY CONSUMPTION.
