Thermal Energy Storage System [TES TANK]. – API Energy

API Energy Thermal Energy Storage Tanks are beneficial for a cooling plant with variable demand between day and night which the typical case of District Energy plants. TES Tank is also advisable when Turbine Inlet Air Cooling systems are designed for peak demand. The TES tank reduces capital and operational cost. API Energy designs, manufactures and installs state-of-the-art thermal energy solutions. API Energy makes use of the most suitable and efficient tank materials for a given storage medium. We offer storage systems made of glass-fused-to-steel and powder-coated steel, stainless steel and galvanized steel – depending on the requirements of our customers. API Energy tanks can easily be extended, disassembled or relocated. API Energy storage tanks can be supplied as an open tank or with various roof and cover solutions. We provide tailor-made systems that help our clients achieve the expected results in power augmentation and energy efficiency.

API Energy Ice generator accumulates energy by generating ice. The tank includes an evaporator located in the upper position, a storage tank in the lower position and two pumps, one for charging period and another one for discharging period. During the charging period, water freezes in the cooling coils of the ice generation. Some of this water drops into the tank still in liquid form, and the rest remains in the cooling coils, working as a condenser. In the discharging period, chilled water pump starts working, pumping the cold water from the bottom of the tank and making it circulate through the cooling coils of the load, where it is heated. After this, it will pass through the cooling coils of the ice generator again. With this temperature, the ice generator is not able to deliver the water as ice to the tank, so here it is delivered as cold water.
