Coal Power or Ice Power?

By texasgrand on | From texas-best.com

Make ice when electricity is cheap. Melt the ice for air conditioning when electricity is expensive or in high demand. Pretty simple alternative to spending billions building new coal fired electric power plants. Thermal Energy Storage, TES systems have been in use for almost a hundred years. One of the original applications was to use a small inexpensive compressor to make ice all week long and then melt all that ice to cool the sanctuary for two hours on Sunday. We have been...Read Full Story
