The GUNT trainer demonstrates the use of ice stores in refrigeration systems to manage peak cooling loads by charging during low energy cost periods and discharging to support the refrigeration system.
Product Features
- Ice store used to cover additional cooling demand during peak loads
- Charging and discharging via a glycol-water mixture circuit between ice store and compression refrigeration system
- Glycol-water mixture cooled below 0°C to freeze water in the ice store during charging
- Melting ice cools glycol-water mixture during discharging, supporting refrigeration system operation
- Includes dry and wet cooling towers to add or withdraw heat from the glycol-water mixture as needed
- Heat exchange occurs during refrigerant evaporation and condensation in refrigeration circuit
- Comprehensive measurement of variables for energy balance of individual processes
- Digital displays with USB data transmission to PC for detailed analysis using included software
Benefits
- Efficient management of peak cooling loads with ice storage technology
- Detailed insight into thermal energy transfer between ice store, glycol circuit, and refrigeration system
- Ability to analyze energy balance for system optimization
- Real-time data monitoring and PC-based analysis for educational and research use
