Product concept

Most industrial cooling and air conditioning systems have to be designed for peak load even if it occurs for a short time. Cycling cooling load in industries, air conditioning load peaking in summer for a few days in a year, and for few hours per day are some of the examples of fluctuating loads.
The storage of thermal energy allows to design modulation and shaving of peak load to a good economical advantage (store when surplus and utilise the same during shortfall).
The economical advantage is not only for the users, but also at national levels it means a better utilisation of installed electrical power generation capacity.
