Thermal Energy Storage Made Easy
Our Trane® Thermal Battery air-cooled chiller plant is a thermal
energy storage system which can make air-cooled chiller plant design
and installation simpler and repeatable, helping to save on design
time and construction costs.
System Advantages
Trane® Thermal Battery air-cooled chiller plants operate at night to create cooling when utility rates are lower and systems are more efficient. Cooling is stored in specially designed ice tanks. During the day, the ice is melted to cool the building, leading to significant savings on utility bills — and many other advantages:
Thermal Energy Storage behaves like an air-conditioning battery
Trane Thermal Energy Storage works like an HVAC battery for your building. It can store and recover thermal energy, charging and discharging depending on building operation, utility rates/programs or availability of renewable resources to optimize your savings, while increasing your sustainability.
System Completion Module makes it easy
The system’s completion module is a Trane-designed, built and functionally tested skid that reduces design and installation time for Thermal Battery Air-Cooled Chiller Plants. The module reduces the system's complexity, reduces time for design, installation and commissioning, and simplifies maintenance through Trane parts identification and single-provider warranty.
Quick design and installation
Plan, specify, and incorporate controls for thermal energy storage systems faster and more efficiently. Our system is pre-engineered and factory built for faster design and installation logistics.
Trane Air-Cooled Chillers
High efficiency and low noise are the hallmarks of all our air-cooled chillers. With thermal energy storage, our chillers can also provide water-cooled efficiency on design days, without the added cost, maintenance and complexity of a water-cooled system.
