How do thermal batteries work?
Ice Bear Batteries Offer Utilities a Proven Way to Permanently Shift Peak HVAC Cooling Load
The Ice Bear stores energy by freezing and storing ice during cooler, off-peak hours. During peak hours, it turns off energy-intensive AC compressors and uses the stored ice instead to provide cooling for up to 8 hours. Each Ice Bear battery comes equipped with a smart-grid controller and bi-directional communications to give utilities real-time visibility and control. Individual units, custom groupings or entire fleets can be dispatched to shift and optimize cooling loads. Learn more
