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.
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.
Intelligent control coordinates heat pump, ice storage, and solar‑air absorbers for maximum efficiency.
Designed to work seamlessly with large‑scale heat pump systems for heating and cooling.
Enables efficient heat extraction in winter and cold utilisation in summer.
Suitable for integration into:
Commercial heating and cooling systems
District energy solutions
Hybrid renewable energy concepts
Simple system design with minimal moving parts ensures high reliability and low maintenance.

It uses latent heat during phase change, allowing much higher energy density than sensible heat storage.
The closed, sealed system and low environmental impact allow installation even in sensitive locations.
The phase change from water to ice releases large amounts of energy at constant temperature, improving heat pump efficiency.
Planning is supported by comprehensive simulation and engineering services, ensuring optimal system sizing.
