Thermal energy storage is a key aspect in the energy transition. A nice example below and more to come at the upcoming IIFIIR - International Institute of Refrigeration Conference #ICR2023
Consider using a transcritical CO2 refrigeration system in combination with thermal energy storage utilizing water/ice instead of a glycol circuit. This innovative approach has been suggested by a researcher from SINTEF and could potentially revolutionize the way we store and utilize energy. Did you know that a Norwegian supermarket chain could reduce its peak power usage by 13-19% by replacing a traditional glycol circuit for air conditioning with a cold thermal energy storage system?
