	How common are the loop temps for ice storage systems to even be OK to use a GTHP off the shelf, already made to 75 tons in the 1990's, which can run to suction temps around 8 degrees as built already? I mean since the GTHP already can have icing-re-circulation temps at 24f entering something regularly, receiving 27 and 26 f back to a system off the shelf, then a water:water hp unit off the shelf may save a dollar with its already 35+ year longevity, properly installed, respectively. ref: geothermal system in combination with Ice storage in the Southern states? Let's add heat recovery to offset some of the costs http://cr4.globalspec.com/comment/551361 __________________ Simply choose your utility supplier contracting WITHOUT BROKERS and opt-out of community aggregations for free choices.

	Well, that would make it a duplicate thread. __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856

	As it turns out , that is history too: Off the shelf GeoThermal ari 330 listed and other companies not rated bythrid party already tied in to such as Calmac ice storage successfully well below other more widely used systems. A crucial cross-hair was identifying why some peak performances were undersized in use but not at first so apparent to the retired engineer: The ability for the storage "battery" to receive the cooling effect was much larger than the 'window' of affecting cooling. More tanks were added as cooling batteries because of the 'portal' of capacity-delivery had to be enlarged to meet the work required at the 4- 6hr loading peaks with the small chiller associated. over a year of reviews by insulation to refrigeration reviewers awaited the rereading of the tank OEM literature fine print specs that listed usable output per tank size per hour--- Thank you for the OP related ~ __________________ Simply choose your utility supplier contracting WITHOUT BROKERS and opt-out of community aggregations for free choices.
