ASHRAE Design Guide for Cool Thermal Storage, 2nd ed.

Completely updated from the previous edition, ASHRAE Design Guide for Cool Thermal Storage (RP-1791) provides design engineers with the latest information in designing, modeling, costing, and commissioning cool thermal energy storage systems. With a particular focus on ice and chilled-water systems, this guide is a comprehensive, first-level reference that discusses thermal energy storage fundamentals, compares thermal energy storage technologies, and describes a applications-focused procedure for designing cool thermal energy storage systems.This extensively revised guide includes new sections on• Mission-critical and emergency cooling applicable to vital, technologically complex situations• Electric utilities and demand response programs to promote greater energy efficiency• Building energy modeling estimates to aid in design• Relevant national and international codes and standards• Utility tariffs, energy cost analysis, and system design ASHRAE Design Guide for Cool Thermal Storage is a valuable tool in the design engineer’s portfolio of potential energy-efficient and energy-saving thermal storage techniques.
