How complicated is Off Peak Cooling equipment?
Technology has evolved, changed and matured in the last 15 years. The TES market started over 20 years ago with over 30 manufacturers with all types of technologies. Today the number of manufacturers is down to a handful of companies with products that the market accepts because they work, are easy to apply, and they are simple. Gone, for the most part are the expensive liquid overfeed systems and the harvester systems. Today’s systems use standard commercial chillers and factory assembled ice tanks. There is also a wealth of information to help the designer, contractor, and operator design, install, operate, and maintain TES systems.
