Ice thermal storage system of a falling film type.

Summary

A new type of ice thermal storage system is proposed. It takes advantage of falling thin water films, consisting of a water distributor, brine or refrigerant coils inside an insulated chamber, a water tank under the chamber, and a circulating water pump. Ice is formed on the outside of the coils through recirculation of tank water. Ice is melted from the top of the formation in direct contact with return water from the secondary circuit of an air-conditioning system. The numerous advantages of the system are described.
