READ MORETrane Thermal Battery systems are chiller plants enhanced with thermal energy storage. The chiller plant operates like a battery. It charges when excess or inexpensive energy is available or when you can depend on renewables. It discharges when demand spikes, price is high or when the utility or grid operator asks for help meeting capacity.
READ MOREThermal energy storage at temperatures in the range of 100 °C-250 °C is considered as medium temperature heat storage. At these temperatures, water exists as steam in atmospheric pressure and has vapor pressure. Typical applications in this temperature range are drying, steaming, boiling, sterilizing, cooking etc.
