What is an ice bank®?

Figure 9-5 shows an array of large unpressurized insulated thermal storage tanks that serve as the “ice bank®.” These tanks can range in volume from approximately 500 to 5000 gallons. They are available in a range of diameters and heights to coordinate with different installation locations and constraints.

What is an ice bank tank?

Figure 1. 1 ACEEE 2008 Summer Study on Energy Efficiency in Buildings. The Ice Bank tank is a modular, insulated polyethylene tank containing a spiral-wound plastic tube heat exchanger which is submerged in water. They are available in various sizes.

How is ice stored in a building?

The ice is built and stored in modular Ice Bank® energy storage tanks to provide cooling to help meet the building’s air-conditioning load requirement the following day. Figure 1. 1 ACEEE 2008 Summer Study on Energy Efficiency in Buildings.

What are ice bank model C tanks?

Ice Bank model C tanks are second generation thermal energy storage. They come in different sizes to accommodate differing space constraints and offer a significant benefit— tanks can be bolted to each other due to their modular, internalized main headers. That means less distribution piping is needed.
