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
