A recent application example highlights the strong potential of FAFCO SAS IceBat Cold Battery Systems in reducing cooling costs for industrial sites. Despite this, the UK market has yet to fully recognise the value of using Cold Thermal Energy Storage to cut operational expenses through low cost electricity tariffs and capacity market benefits.
The IceBat system allows businesses to increase cooling capacity and improve resilience without the need for major infrastructure changes. By integrating with existing chillers, sites can shift energy use to cheaper tariff periods, reduce carbon emissions, and benefit from a lower cost alternative to lithium battery storage.
Key benefits of IceBat Cold Battery Systems:
-
Increased cooling capacity
-
Greater system resilience
-
Use of low cost tariffs
-
Access to capacity market benefits
-
Compatibility with existing chillers
-
Reduced carbon emissions
-
Lower cost than lithium batteries
-
Proven track record with 1,400 systems in operation
-
Scalable from 600kWh to more than 20,000kWh
This technology offers a direct and effective route to lower cooling costs and reduced environmental impact.
