The Omega Ice Bank system is a technology based on storing cooling capacity at night and using it the following day to cool. At night when electricity is generated at a lower cost, chillers cool fluid and store it

The most common Cool TES energy storage media are chilled water, other low-temperature fluids (e.g., water with an additive to lower freezing point), ice, or some other phase change material.

This strategy involves the storage and release of cooling using small cold-storage tanks to actively control the load ratio of the water chiller, thus ensuring that the unit

Adding a thermal storage solution to a chilled water plant may not increase the overall efficiency of the system, but it can provide flexibility to the operator to energize compressors and cooling equipment during off-peak times

The technology allows facilities to take advantage of less costly electricity available at night and functionally save that energy for use at a later time. Cool storage achieves this performance by using ice or
