Knowing when to combine storage with free cooling can significantly cut chiller runtime and peak demand costs for facility engineers and energy managers. This guide covers the conditions that make the combination worth designing and what the fabrication scope must include. What Free Cooling Actually Is Free cooling, also called economizer mode, uses a heat exchanger to transfer cooling capacity from an ambient source, typically outdoor air or a ground loop, directly to the chilled water system without running the

Choosing the wrong thermal storage medium creates problems that persist for the life of the installation. This guide is for procurement managers and engineers specifying TES vessels, covering which storage medium works best for each application.  Why Storage Medium Selection Affects More Than Just the Tank The storage medium determines the vessel material, insulation system requirements, operating pressure and temperature range, the applicable fabrication code, and in some cases the entire system architecture. A specification decision that looks like a

Understanding how does storage shift cooling load is the key to cutting peak demand costs for facility operators and engineers. This guide covers which operating strategy fits your facility and what the fabricated vessel must do to deliver reliable performance over its service life. The Core Principle Behind Cooling Load Shifting A conventional chilled water system runs its chillers when the facility needs cooling. Peak cooling demand and peak chiller operation happen at the same time, which means peak electrical

Can phased capacity cut capex on large tank projects? This guide is for project engineers and procurement managers evaluating phased delivery, covering where phasing delivers real savings and what Phase 1 must get right. What Phased Capacity Actually Means in a Tank Project Can phased capacity cut capex without building something undersized? Yes, but only if it is structured correctly. Phased capacity is not the same as building something undersized and fixing it later. Done correctly, it means designing the
