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. 2, record 1, English, - thermal%20cool%20storage

Water, concrete, and rock are common choices for thermal mass. In winter, thermal mass stores solar energy collected during the day and releases it during sunless periods (nights or cloudy days).
