Cost-effectiveness is a key factor in the maintenance of modern buildings, especially when it comes to energy consumption. Operating cooling systems is one of the largest cost items, making it essential to find the right solutions. Significant cost savings can be achieved when operating liquid chillers if we are able to optimize the system's performance.
One way to reduce cooling costs is by increasing the supply temperature. Producing a higher supply temperature requires less compressor work, making the system operation more affordable. However, this is not always feasible, as cooling systems are usually designed for a specific temperature. If the supply temperature is set too high, it may cause areas of the building to be improperly cooled, which can negatively impact comfort levels and workplace efficiency.
In contrast, the HeatTank Intelligent Thermal Battery not only reduces operating costs but also improves the overall operational state of the cooling system. With its help, we can achieve energy savings without compromising on comfort, ensuring that all areas maintain the right temperature.
If the building allows for an increase in the chiller's supply temperature, the HeatTank provides an excellent complementary solution, as it enables further energy savings and cost reductions. However, it is important to note that if the supply temperature needs to be changed, this should be done before the installation of the HeatTank, as the Thermal Battery operates at a specific temperature. The phase change material inside the HeatTank is selected based on the supply temperature. If the supply temperature is changed later, the HeatTank will need to be replaced.
Energy savings are now essential not only from an economic perspective but also in terms of environmental protection and sustainability. Conscious energy use not only reduces costs but also contributes to increasing global energy efficiency. Companies and institutions that take energy optimization seriously ensure the sustainability of their operations while promoting the building of a cleaner and greener future. Therefore, energy savings are not just an opportunity but also a responsibility—it's in all of our collective interest to do everything we can for efficient and responsible energy use.
