Cold storage systems
Application areas
- For industrial A/C systems, cooling houses, local and remote refrigeration circuits
- As temporary storage for compensation of peak loads and utilization bottlenecks
- Low-cost alternative for expansions
- Short-term provisioning of high refrigeration outputs at low losses
- Use of continuous power-heat-cooling coupling for covering the peak load refrigeration requirements
- Storage as pressure supply in the total system

Advantaged of the cold storage systems
- Maximization of the heat utilization for cooling (power-heat-cooling waste heat) with simultaneous substitution of electric energy
- Avoiding electrical peak loads by compression cooling
- Improvement of the system operation mode
- Holistic efficiency increase of the cooling
- No pressure maintenance systems needed
- Independent operating mode of the cold storage systems
- Individual setup
