• IceBank Energy Storage by CALMAC

    Reducing peak electric demand by using thermal energy storage can cut cooling costs by 20 to 40 percent
    May 4, 2010

    CALMAC’s IceBank Energy Storage tanks store ice at night, when utility rates are far less expensive, to be used during peak demand periods. Reducing the peak electric demand using thermal energy storage can cut cooling costs by 20 to 40 percent.

    With a partial energy storage system, you can specify chillers at 50 to 60 percent of the previous size, reducing capital outlays.

    IceBank Energy Storage lowers the relative humidity within a building; as a result, occupants feel comfortable even if the thermostat is set at a higher, more cost-saving setting.

    It can also be added to an existing chiller system to increase cooling capacity and reduce cooling costs.
