An industrial ice bank Is a large-scale refrigeration system that is used to store and produce ice on a commercial or industrial level. It consists of a series of ice storage tanks or containers, which are filled with water and frozen into ice.
The ice bank system utilizes off-peak electricity or excess refrigeration capacity to freeze the water during low- demand periods. Once the ice is formed, it can be used to provide cooling during peak demand periods, such as in air conditioning systems or industrial processes. The stored ice acts as a thermal energy storage medium, allowing for more efficient and cost-effective cooling operations.
