Ice Kube Water-to-Water Heat Pumps
Ice Kube Systems specialized in water-to-water heat pumps for various temperature applications. Two model lines of R410a heat pumps are offered to meet the application requirements.
EKS Heat Pumps
EKS models offer high temperature capabilities in heating applications. Technology enables the EKS model heat pumps to produce 145°F (63°C) water while connected to typical ground and water loops as heat sources. As well as the high temperature application the EKS model line can operate at temperatures required for thermal ice storage applications.
IKS Heat Pumps
IKS models are targeted for low temperature applications while providing hot water for radiant heating applications. The IKS model operates at temperatures low enough to provide refrigeration for artificial hockey and curling ice surfaces. IKS model heat pumps can operate efficiently at water temperatures of 10°F (-12°C) while providing water hot enough to be used as radiant infloor heating.
Thermal Ice Storage Capability
Depending on the system application, commercial or refrigeration, both the EKS and IKS models of heat pumps can be used for thermal ice storage applications. Both models of heat pumps will operate efficiently at temperatures required to charge the thermal ice storage tank.
Thermal ice storage has a couple main benefits: load shifting to take advantage of off peak power rates, and peak load shaving in facilities with unbalanced cooling loads. The system design can achieve one or both of the energy saving measures mentioned. A properly designed system can make ice in ice storage tanks at off-peak hours while heating the building with the energy taken from the ice. These simultaneous applications can almost double the combined coefficient of performance of the heat pump.
Ice Kube Systems has maximized the efficiency of the water-to-water heat pumps in several ways:
• Increase the size of the evaporator and condenser
• Insulate the evaporator
• Maximize the efficiency of the evaporator
• Optimize the size of other system components
• Use refrigerant designed to operate at all temperatures
• Optimize system design
