Ice energy storage for large-scale systems

Viessmann Ice Energy Storage – Renewable Thermal Energy Storage for Large-Scale Applications
Innovative ice energy storage system that combines energy from ambient air, solar radiation, precipitation, and the ground to provide a highly efficient heat source for brine-to-water heat pumps while also enabling economical building cooling.

Features

Innovative Ice Energy Technology

Uses the latent heat of water during freezing Captures and stores thermal energy naturally Converts environmental energy into usable heating and cooling Nearly maintenance-free operation

Four Renewable Energy Sources Combined

The system simultaneously utilizes energy from: Ambient air Solar radiation Precipitation Ground energy This combination maximizes heat source availability and improves overall system efficiency.

Crystallization Energy Utilization

Heat is extracted from water through a phase change process Energy is released when water freezes into ice One litre of freezing water releases a significant amount of usable thermal energy The process can be repeated continuously through regeneration cycles

Efficient Heat Pump Integration

Designed as an optimal heat source for brine-to-water heat pumps Supports monovalent heating operation Enables highly efficient low-carbon heating Improves seasonal performance of the heat pump system

Sustainable Cooling Solution

Stored ice can be used as a cooling source during summer Enables natural cooling with very low energy consumption Reduces the need for mechanical cooling equipment Enhances occupant comfort in warm weather

Solar-Air Absorber Technology

Collects energy from ambient air and solar radiation No fans or moving components required Foam-emission-free operation Quiet and highly reliable performance
