MasterFormat Division 23 71 16 covers the requirements for chilled-water thermal energy storage systems. These systems play a crucial role in optimizing building energy efficiency by shifting cooling loads from peak to off-peak hours. This article delves into the details of chilled-water thermal storage, exploring its definition, functionality, applications, installation best practices, and leading manufacturers.
Chilled-water thermal storage is a technology that utilizes water's high heat capacity to store thermal energy. It involves chilling water during periods of low energy demand, typically at night, and then using this chilled water to cool buildings during peak demand periods, such as hot afternoons.
A chilled-water thermal storage system usually comprises the following components:
During off-peak hours, the chiller cools the water and stores it in the insulated tank. When cooling demand rises, the chilled water is pumped from the tank to the heat exchangers, where it absorbs heat from the building's cooling water loop. This chilled water then cools the building, reducing the load on the chiller during peak hours.
Chilled-water thermal storage systems are advantageous in various building types, including:
They are particularly beneficial in areas with high peak electricity demand charges and where nighttime electricity rates are lower.
Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance and longevity of a chilled-water thermal storage system. Key best practices include:
Several reputable manufacturers specialize in chilled-water thermal storage systems. Some of the industry leaders include:
These manufacturers offer various solutions, including different tank sizes, chiller types, and control system options.
Chilled-water thermal storage systems offer a proven and effective solution for optimizing building energy efficiency and reducing operating costs. By shifting cooling loads to off-peak hours, these systems capitalize on lower electricity rates and minimize peak demand charges. When considering a chilled-water thermal storage system, prioritize proper system design, high-quality components, and adherence to installation best practices. Consult with experienced engineers and reputable manufacturers to ensure optimal system performance and long-term energy savings.
