Book description:A practical guide to SUSTAINABLE THERMAL STORAGE SYSTEMS
Sustainable Thermal Storage Systems: Planning, Design, and Operations offers proven techniques for reducing energy costs, on-peak demand, capital costs, and pollution using thermal storage systems. Written by an expert in the field, this book discusses sustainability requirements, advantages and disadvantages of various systems, and the relationship among loads, equipment choices, and system selection. Real-world case studies examine chilled water thermal storage and ice thermal storage. Tips for operating a thermal storage plant to maximize investment are also provided in this valuable resource.
Comprehensive coverage includes:
Applicability and types of thermal storage systems
Sensible thermal storage systems
Latent thermal storage systems
Heating storage systems
Thermal storage system sizing
Conducting a feasibility study
Estimating energy use and analyzing costs
Thermal storage design applications
Thermal storage tank specifications
Operating and control strategies
Testing and commissioning requirements
Sustainable operations
