Summary

The article presents a modular ice thermal storage tank. The tank is filled with water, in which is submerged a polyethylene tube heat exchanger. A glycol solution cooled to about - 3,33 deg C by an air conditioner liquid chiller is pumped through the tubes, causing the surrouding water to freeze. When fully frozen, the system stores 844 kilowatts per hour of cooling capacity, so, for example, it would require 10 hours operation of a 84 kilowatts chiller to fully freeze the water in the tank. Then to serve a cooling load, the ice can be melted at a rate dictated by load, ranging from 0 to 127 kilowatts per hour.
