In John Bleasby's latest Insidee Innovation column, interior cooling meets the Ice Age.
February 8, 2023
The ancient Persians used specially designed wind catcher towers, many of which can still be seen today in parts of the Middle East and North Africa. At night during off-peak electricity hours, water combined with ethylene or propylene glycol is cooled by a chiller and then circulated inside the heat exchanger within the IceBank® tank. Ninety-five per cent of the solution surrounding the heat exchanger is frozen inside the tank using counter-flow-heat exchanger tubes.
With this increased popularity came an enormous increase in electrical demand. Mechanical air conditioning around the world today gobbles up 20 per cent of all the electricity generated andUnless the required future energy generation comes solely from renewable sources, the resultant carbon emissions will increase as well.
The initial investment is often competitive with conventional air conditioning for both new-builds and retrofits. The most recent ice cooling systems utilize AI to control their integration with mechanical systems in order to maximize comfort and minimize energy use.
