Cool storage systems circulating chilled water or glycol heat transfer fluids from open atmospheric pressure tanks require care in the analysis, design and installation of piping, pumping systems, heat exchangers (if used), controls and control valves, back pressure sustaining valves, filtration equipment, and cooling coils. The interface of the atmospheric storage tank to the water distribution system is vital because it impacts system design, reliability and operating costs. Tailored to meet the needs of designers, installers and operators, this design guide collects in one reference the data specific to cool storage open tank systems including stratified chilled water, ice-on-pipe external melt ice builders, ice harvesters, encapsulated ice, and encapsulated phase change. The data and diagrams in this guide will simplify the design, installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance, and improve energy efficiency, performance, and reliability of cool storage systems using open tanks.
