Do cooling and heating conditions affect energy storage temperature control systems?

An energy storage temperature control system is proposed. The effect of different cooling and heating conditions on the proposed system was investigated. An experimental rig was constructed and the results were compared to a conventional temperature control system.

What is a composite cooling system for energy storage containers?

Fig. 1 (a) shows the schematic diagram of the proposed composite cooling system for energy storage containers. The liquid cooling system conveys the low temperature coolant to the cold plate of the battery through the water pump to absorb the heat of the energy storage battery during the charging/discharging process.

What does cop mean in refrigeration?

Coefficient of performance: COP is a dimensionless number used to describe the ratio of the cooling capacity of a containerized energy storage temperature control system to the energy consumed for cooling . The larger COP, the higher energy efficiency of refrigeration system.

What is cool thermal energy storage?

Cool Thermal Energy Storage is a new application of an old idea that can cut air conditioning energy costs in half while preparing your building for the future. Air conditioning of commercial buildings during summer daytime hours is the largest single contributor to electrical peak demand.

What is the COP of a container energy storage temperature control system?

It is found that the COP of the proposed temperature control system reaches 3.3. With the decrease of outdoor temperature, the COP of the proposed container energy storage temperature control system gradually increases, and the COP difference with conventional air conditioning gradually increases.

What is container energy storage temperature control system?

The proposed container energy storage temperature control system integrates the vapor compression refrigeration cycle, the vapor pump heat pipe cycle and the low condensing temperature heat pump cycle, adopts variable frequency, variable volume and variable pressure ratio compressor, and the system is simple and reliable in mode switching.
