Ice storage system design based on cooling load of design period

According to the analysis of the hourly cooling load of three kinds of typical buildings, points out that designing ice storage system based on the cooling load of design period rather than one day is more general. Based on the cooling load of design period, develops the algorithm to get smallest capacity of chillers and the capacity of ice tank. Several cases studies show that the capacity of chillers based on the cooling load of design period is generally 30% to 50% less than that based on the cooling load of design day.
