Energy Saving Dynamic Ice Storage System for Air Conditioning

Icepower dynamic ice storage system is widely used in many fields and industries such as air-condition, food process, energy-saving projects, chemical industries, aquatic product processing, and restaurants.

The basic principle of the system is to make ice by using electricity and store ice at night, while thawing ice and release cold energy to meet the peak usage of cold during daytime.

Ice Making and Storage:

When refrigeration system begins operating normally, water in the ice storage tank is transported to sprinkle the sink on the top of the plate ice machine evaporator and evenly sprinkle water on the surface of plate evaporator, then the water will freeze into plate ice due to the low evaporating temperature. And then the ice will drop into the ice storage tank automatically.

Ice Thawing and Cold Energy Releasing:

Through temperature adjustive valves, air-conditioning return water is sprinkled evenly by the watering trough on the top of evaporator over the surface of the plate ice machine evaporator. When the refrigeration unit stops running, the air conditioning return water sprinkles evenly on the ice layers on the top of ice storage tank through an evaporator. The water is then pumped to the air-conditioning return water aggregation from the bottom of ice storage tank so as to adjust the temperature of return water to the standard temperature of air-conditioning effluent which can be controlled by a temperature proportion adjusting valve. When the ice storage capacity is not enough, the whole machine can run on a cold water refrigeration mode, and operates the partial compressors as the central air condition unit.

Great Economic Value:

Based on the air conditioning state, compared with the air conditioning unit, the dynamic ice storage system with the same refrigeration capacity and the approximate cost. that is the total cost of compressor-condenser unit, cooling tower system and evaporator. The only additional cost but very low is for the ice storage tank which is caused by civil engineering or steel frame structure with insulation layer.

Features:

It can greatly enhance ice making capacity and cold storage capability by adopting ice making–ice falling off circulation.

Air water directly begins heat exchange with refrigerant through the plate evaporator which creates high cooling efficiency.

The plate evaporator is installed on the top of the ice storage tank. It is convenient to maintain and clean.

Plate evaporator is an open plate evaporator and there is no possibility of freezing and cracking.

The whole system can operate as air conditioning unit.
