Abstract
This paper investigates the thermal performance of an ice-water cold storage system theoretically and experimentally. The proposed cold storage system can be used to shift electric demand from periods of high demand to ones of low demand. A general lump model to determine the thermal storage characteristics is developed. The solution of the system equations is found through a Laplace transformation method. Experimental data of temperature profiles obtained for various flow rates and different inlet coolant temperatures confirm the validity of the theory. Effects of several parameters on the charge characteristics are quantitatively made clear in the present study. © 1991.
