BN-97-10-2 -- Dynamic Ice Harvesting Thermal Energy Storage and Powdered Eggs (or Which Came First - the Ice or the Egg?) PDF

Industrial process applications are typically well suited to the use of thermal energy storage (TES) systems due to the fact that many industrial process applications are batch processes. These batch processes have a large cooling requirement for a short period. An ice thermal energy storage system will level this load over a day, thereby reducing the total electrical demand of the process. Describes one such industrial application. The manufacturer has been producing powered eggs for more than 12 years. Describes the process, as well as the ice thermal energy storage system that was recently installed at the facility. It also explores the options that were considered and the reasoning behind the decisions that were made.
