Ice Storage

For heating and cooling 

The demand for cooling and heat transfer systems is constantly growing. The area of application is broad and includes sectors of the food industry, industrial cooling requirements as well as cooling and heating requirements from commercial, public and private sectors. 

Key Features

  • Ice storage systems offer safe and efficient heat generation by utilizing ice as a thermal storage medium. This allows for controlled and reliable heating, reducing the risk associated with some other heating methods.

  • Ice storage systems operate in an environmentally friendly manner. They can use electricity during off-peak hours, when it is often generated more sustainably, and reduce the overall carbon footprint of heating and cooling processes.

  • Ice storage systems can tap into free or low-cost heat sources, such as waste heat from industrial processes or renewable energy like solar, to produce ice. This helps maximise energy efficiency and cost savings.

  • Installing ice storage systems typically does not require special permits or regulatory hurdles, making them relatively easy to integrate into existing buildings and systems.

  • The regeneration process in ice storage systems, where ice is melted to release stored energy, can be repeated as often as needed without significant degradation of the system. This flexibility makes them versatile for various applications.

  • In some regions, governments and utilities may offer subsidies or incentives for the installation of ice storage systems due to their energy efficiency and environmental benefits, potentially making them more cost-effective.

  • Ice storage systems are not limited to heating applications; they can also be used for cooling. By producing and storing ice during cooler periods, they can provide efficient and cost-effective cooling during hot summer months, reducing peak electricity demand.
