Hybrid Ice Storage: Advantages
 


FAFCO - Hybrid Ice Storage - The most important advantages:

FAFCO hybrid ice storages combine two common melting systems, thus providing the advantages of both.
  • High discharge performance at extremely low outlet temperatures
  • Very high operating reliability independent of the charge and discharge cycle (any desired partial charges and discharges are possible)
  • No restriction of availability by ice-block formation
  • No ice-thickness control required
  • Long life because the main components are made from corrosion-resistant materials
  • Environmentally friendly thanks to brine operation without refrigerant
  • Compact construction with high storage density
  • Completely factory assembled units
  • Site assembly if access is limited
  • Great flexibility ideal for replacing existing systems and building into existing tanks. Practically unlimited installation possibilities thanks to modular design.
  • Larger hybrid ice storages in builderswork concrete tanks
  • Extremely low pressure drop
  • Very even ice formation due to a special balancing system
  • Large specific heat transfer area of 0,43 m2/kWh latent storage capacity
  • Optimized use of the space by cubical tank design
  • Head office and factory in Switzerland (Biel/Bienne)
