Proposal of a new air-conditioning system by combining ice thermal storage and absorption refrigeration technology

A new air-conditioning system is proposed. To reduce the difference of electric power consumption in the daytime and in the nighttime, cheaper price is set for electricity in the nighttime. One of application examples Of Such nighttime electricity is the production of ice in the nighttime and this cold is used for air conditioning for the business district in the daytime. In the proposed system, the ice thermal storage system and absorption refrigeration technology are combined. The system consists of ail evaporator E, ail absorber A, a generator G, a condenser C, a heat exchanger H, two pumps and a throttling valve. Theoretically, air-conditioning performance becomes twice that of the conventional ice thermal storage system. Ail advanced system is also presented to make the temperature difference for heat exchange large.
