Diurnal storage cooling systems provide an effective means for reducing peak electric energy demand at Army installations. The U.S. Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (USACERL) demonstrated an ice-on-coil diurnal ice storage (DIS) cooling system at a barracks/ office/dining facility at Yuma Proving Ground, AZ as part of the Facilities Engineering Applications Program (FEAP). This report documents design, construction, and operational performance of the system and provides a design reference for ice-on-coil DIS cooling systems. Operational data collected during the fall of 1988 and the cooling season of 1989 indicated a net annual electrical savings of $22,450. The simple payback period for the system is 6.5 years.
