GEOptimize - St. Pierre Church
Two 6-ton (21 kW) water to water heat pumps provide hot water for radiant floor heating and chilled water for the air handlers. They also produce ice in the ice storage tank during off peak hours during the week.

About
ice storage systems. Ice Kube pioneered the integration of ice rink refrigeration systems, taking advantage of waste heat from the refrigeration heat pumps to heat other parts of the building or other nearby buildings. Approximately 50 to 60 ...

GCHP systems and thermal energy storage
ice storage tanks have been commonly used with conventional chiller systems for 30 or 40 years. Integrating them with a GCHP system has the additional benefit of reducing the size and cost of the GHX connected with it. Since 2004, several systems have been built that take advantage of ...

Utility costs and GCHP systems - when is geo feasible? (part 4 of 7)
more utilities are implementing smart meters and time of use rates. GCHP systems can be designed to take advantage of thermal energy storage (ice storage or chilled water storage). Energy storage integrated with a GCHP system has the added benefit of reducing the size and cost of ...

Software Review - Ground breaking (pun intended) Heat Exchanger Design Software
ice rink project I worked on in 1989. Our singular goal was to reduce pumping costs from the ice rink floor. We designed a system to reduce pumping power by about 50% compared to a conventional rink floor design. Not knowing at the time that the center circuits would ...
