Aquifer storage of winter chill at Stony Brook State University
Technical Report

OSTI ID:5788600
The primary focus of the work presented is on the economic feasibility of developing a chill aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES) system at Stony Brook, NY. The fundamental concept of the project is to inject chilled water into the aquifer and recover the cold water in summer for use in an air conditioning system. The aquifer system on Long Island and the aquifer characteristics underlying Stony Brook are described, including the unusual reverse thermal gradient in the upper 400 feet of sediments at Stony Brook. Two options for development of ATES at Stony Brook are studied: a two-building option and a central plant option. A field experiment to define hydraulic and thermal reaction of the aquifer to the injection of chill is reported. (LEW)
