Ice Cooling Systems

By Marengo

A great way to cool a business place or home is by an ice system. It creates ice during the night and uses that ice to cool the home or business place all day. This system is very cheap for you create you're own way to cool a place.

The way the system works is at night the system freezes an ethylene glycol solution at below freezing temperatures. The solution is then circulated throughout a series of tubes in a tank to freeze the water within the tank. During the day, the ice then melts cooling the solution in the tubes. The chilled solution is then passed through a heat exchange with a fan to blow the cooled air.

This system can have a great result in saving money. There is a huge company called the Central Energy Plant No. 2 that saved $430,000 for one year from this cooling system. But this is a huge margin. Some companies save $10,000 to $500,000 depending on some of the elements like the size needing cooling and whatever.

Ice cooling systems are an excellent all around sytem to use.
