Affordable and Effective Products and Systems for Energy Conservation and Reduced Peak Power Demand of Commercial Unitary HVAC Installations
Ice Energy manufactures a high-efficiency ice energy storage module for use with unitary air conditioning systems of 100 tons or less, which can be applied in new or retrofit applications. Ice Energy delivers substantial energy and environmental benefits by using low-cost utility power at night to make and store ice that is subsequently used to produce low-cost air conditioning during peak daytime hours that would otherwise be produced by high-cost peak period electric energy to run an air conditioning unit’s compressor.
The immediate improvements are reduced kilowatt hour consumption and reduced demand for power during peak daytime periods. Less obvious but calculable improvements include reduced emissions of greenhouse gases by utility power producers, and the permanent removal from the grid of peak period power demand.
