Product Description

ICE STORES IN REFRIGERATION
Ice stores are used in refrigeration to cover an increased additional cooling requirement (peak load). The ice stores are usually charged over night when general energy requirements and energy costs are low.
To charge and discharge the ice store a circuit with glycolwater mixture is used between the ice store and the compression refrigeration system. When charging the ice store the glycol-water mixture is cooled via a compression refrigeration system to below 0°C and thereby withdraws heat from the water in the ice store, causing the water to freeze. During discharging the melting ice withdraws heat from the glycol-water mixture causing the mixture to cool down. During this cooling process the ice store replaces or supports the compression refrigeration system. consists of an ice store, a refrigeration system, a circuit with glycol-water mixture, a dry and a wet cooling tower. During the evaporation of the refrigerant in the refrigeration circuit and during discharging of the ice store, heat is withdrawn from the mixture, whereas during the condensing of the refrigerant heat is added. As required the cooling towers add heat to or withdraw heat from the mixture.
The record of all required variables enables an energy balance for the individual processes. The measured values are read from digital displays and can be transmitted simultaneously via USB directly to a PC where they can be analysed using the software included.
The unit shall perform the following experiments and investigations:
