Thermal Storage Systems
An important variation of the central chilled water plant scheme in-
cludes thermal storage. There are several reasons to create a bank of
passive cooling capacity, most focused on saving energy cost, but in-
cluding system reliability in case of chiller failure or power curtail-
ment.
The basic concept of thermal storage which may be applied to chilled
or hot water, but most often is used with chilled water, is to generate
