Thermal Energy Storage

Proven in Europe, the USA and the Middle East, Thermal Energy Storage (TES) is a more efficient and cost effective way to deliver energy to chill air.

By creating and storing energy during off-peak periods which can then be used in high-demand periods, it spreads the daytime requirement for energy to chill or heat air across 24 hours resulting in important cost and capacity benefits.

Thermal Energy Storage bridges the gap between energy storage and energy use and is used within HVAC systems for cooling and heating schemes. Thermal Energy Storage schemes may offer full or partial storage. Typically, you’ll recoup your costs within three years.

Reduce your cooling system running costs by up to 40%

The benefits of a TES system

A properly planned and designed Thermal Energy Storage system often provides lower capital costs in addition to lower energy use at peak times resulting in lower energy costs.

Cost effective

Lowers capital costs because the system is designed to run at average load rather than max load. Avoids peak demand charges or levies and utility charges by reducing peak-time loads.

Environmentally friendly

Reduces energy consumption by maximising the cooling plant efficiency. This results in a higher Energy Efficiency Rating for cooling system plant.

Energy efficient

Reduces cooling system costs by up to 40% by running on off-peak electricity rates. It offers higher scheme capacity than traditional air conditioning.

Waste heat storage

A Thermal Energy Storage system provides waste heat storage during off-peak periods. It also delivers high cooling system storage capacity.
