Discharging the Ice Store

Complete external discharging takes about 5 to 9 hours, depending on discharging temperature and discharging flow. Choosing a flow temperature of 20°C, discharging is possible at an average of 3 kW. At the end there were no significant differences detected between the two types of heat exchangers (Figure 6).

Heat losses

No significant losses of cooling energy were measured. At an ambient Temperature of 23°C, loss of cooling energy in 24 hours is about 1 kWh. This means an average rate of loss of about 42 W.
