“…Zhong et al [6] provided an overview of various phase-change materials for thermal energy storage and their applications for the business and industrial cold storage systems. In their comprehensive demonstration of current thermal storage technologies, Dincer [7] and Wood et al [8] highlighted the promising opportunities for the industrial application of thermal storage systems, which can generate thermal energy though the produced stored power during off-peak hours to reduce the cooling load during peak hours and to lower the electricity bill accordingly.…”

This study examines the applicability of the ice storage systems in the small commercial refrigerated showcases through experimental analysis. R-404A is used as the working fluid and various influence of parameter settings and improvements, are discussed in details. In the ice storage system, the condenser is changed from air-cooling (refrigeration mode) to an immersion type that is placed in an ice storage tank, the corresponding condensing temperature and pressure are reduced appreciably. This increased the efficiency and can effectively reduce the peak power consumption. The reduction of the condensing temperature and pressure increased the coefficient of performance (COP) from 3.6 (refrigeration mode) to 6.35 (melting mode), effectively enhancing the refrigeration efficiency. The results indicated that the ice storage system could effectively increase the coefficient of performance from 3.6 to 6.35 during ice melting when compared to the conventional refrigeration system. It also can shift approximately 35% of the power during peak hours and lower the energy cost by USD$ 17.13 per month.

“…The results and data management have been based on a previous initiative performed in Germany [3,4], which has been employed as a model, though not the only previous study, as Wood et al. [5] had already performed a study of the TES potential (only for the industry sector) for the UK back in 1983. The here presented equations have been derived from the original model calculation sheet, and as the authors did not provide a formal calculation model.…”
