Subject field(s)
  • Air Conditioning and Heating

CONT

Thermal cool storage relies on an inexpensive storage medium with a high specific or latent heat(such as water, ice, or eutectic salts) to store cooling produced during off-peak hours for use during peak hours. Refrigeration is provided by conventional chillers or industrial-grade ice-making units which charge the storage tanks during off-peak hours. On-peak cooling is provided by circulating chilled liquid from storage through the building's fan coils or a secondary heat exchanger.

Both types of refrigerated vehicle are employed for long hauls. Ice, solid carbon dioxide and eutectic mixtures add enormous weight to the load to be transported, reducing the space for merchandise. The same is true of the liquid nitrogen refrigeration system of the cylinders containing liquid nitrogen will be too high. Only mechanically refrigerated vehicles should be considered at present for long-distance transport.
