Ton hour 24 618 kw hour chilled water storage system serving a hospital. Warm and chilled water enters and exits the tank through diffusers located at the top and bottom of the tank. Design of chilled water storage systems stratified storage tanks tank sizing estimates tank storage volume calculation using figure of merit fom of sizing estimates is approximately 0 9 90 given fom total ton hrs and tank differential temperature solve of volume using. Specific gravity of water at 50 f is.

Thermal energy storage tes thermal energy storage commercialized over 30 years ago thousands of installations throughout the gcc world and the u s. Lower capital outlays 3. Predominantly two types of. A thermal energy storage system benefits consumers primarily in three ways.

Savings by using off peak electricity to produce chilled water or ice. There is a space saving advantage of using ice storage because the phase change can store or release 144 btus per pound when ice changes to water and vice versa. Both on peak and off peak electrical demands are expected to be reduced. Efficiency in operation 1 load shifting load shifting is primarily the main reason to install a tes system.

Ice vs chilled water. Chilled water can store 1 btu per pound of energy. Chilled water tes concept tank.
