Cold Batteries

Cold Battery Operation

The Cold Energy is stored in a PCM Gel either within beam or tube batteries located inside the cold store or within externally located battery blocks.

• The energy is dissipated and delivered over a predetermined time period dependent on the demands of the application
• Can operate between a temperature range of +5ºC to -25ºC
• Charged via existing refrigeration condensers or existing centralised packaged refrigeration units
• Supplementary independent charging units can be specified to support existing refrigeration systems where required

Cold Battery Applications

1. Reduce risk by providing contingency within critical cold storage applications, store stand-by Cold Energy and use the Cold Battery to maintain temperatures during unplanned refrigeration system shutdowns – RETROFIT OR NEW INSTALLATION
2. Reduce energy costs and economically accumulate energy in the battery by taking advantage of off peak low cost electricity and then use the stored energy during higher cost peak tariff periods
3. Reduce demand, limit your sites peak electricity demand by using stored Cold Energy to supplement refrigeration capacity during periods of high electricity demand
4. Save costs by turning central refrigeration plant off during overnight low load periods, reduce inefficient operation by using the Cold Energy stored within the battery
