Combined chilled water thermal energy storage and fire protection storage systems
- Albert Kahn Associates Inc., Detroit, MI (US)
The re-emergence of thermal storage as a significant energy cost saving technology can be expected to continue as utility companies struggle to meet consumer energy needs without constructing new power plants. At the same time, the need for reliable water supplies for fire protection service can be expected to grow, with the requirement for sprinkler systems now imposed on most new construction. In many instances, particularly in rural areas, on-site fire protection water storage is required where local water supplies are inadequate for fire service. These trends create an obvious opportunity for combined technology: the use of chilled water thermal storage for fire protection service. This paper addresses the issues involved in integrating these systems and uses a recently completed truck assembly plant in South Carolina to illustrate the concept.
