Ice Energy Storage

The ice energy storage system is an attractive heat source for brine-to-water heat pumps. It bundles the energy from ambient air, solar radiation, precipitation and the ground.

  • Suitable for large-scale systems
  • Energy from ambient air, solar radiation, precipitation, soil
  • Comprehensive range of services
  • Low regulatory requirements

Ice Energy Storage

The Ice Energy Storage system is an innovative, large‑scale thermal energy storage solution designed to maximise renewable energy use and enable CO₂‑free heating and cooling operation. By storing energy in the form of ice, the system efficiently utilises crystallisation energy and ambient energy sources to support heat pump operation throughout the year.

With low regulatory requirements, suitability for water protection areas, and intelligent energy source management, ice energy storage is an ideal solution for commercial buildings, industrial plants, district solutions, and large residential projects.

Ice Energy Storage

Low Regulatory Requirements

The system can also be installed in water protection areas, offering high planning flexibility.

Highly Efficient Operating Modes

Energy is stored and released using the latent heat of crystallisation, enabling efficient year‑round operation.

CO₂‑Free Operation

When combined with monovalent heat pump systems and a CO₂‑free energy mix, the system operates without direct emissions.

Combination of Four Energy Sources

High efficiency is achieved by utilising: Ambient air Solar radiation Precipitation Soil energy

Integrated System Control

Intelligent control coordinates heat pump, ice storage, and solar‑air absorbers for maximum efficiency.

Optimised Heat Pump Integration

Designed to work seamlessly with large‑scale heat pump systems for heating and cooling.

Seasonal Energy Management

Enables efficient heat extraction in winter and cold utilisation in summer.

Flexible System Integration

Suitable for integration into:

Commercial heating and cooling systems
District energy solutions
Hybrid renewable energy concepts

Long‑Term Operational Reliability

Simple system design with minimal moving parts ensures high reliability and low maintenance.

How does ice energy storage differ from conventional buffer storage?

It uses latent heat during phase change, allowing much higher energy density than sensible heat storage.

Why is ice energy storage suitable for water protection areas?

The closed, sealed system and low environmental impact allow installation even in sensitive locations.

How does crystallisation energy improve efficiency?

The phase change from water to ice releases large amounts of energy at constant temperature, improving heat pump efficiency.

How complex is system planning?

Planning is supported by comprehensive simulation and engineering services, ensuring optimal system sizing.
