冰蓄冷系统有可能为建筑业主节省大量空调成本。此外，电力公司将这项技术视为减少夏季系统高峰需求的一种方法。大多数公用事业提供利率激励，鼓励客户考虑这一选择。当一位商业客户决定在其新办公室安装冰蓄冷系统时，当地公用事业公司安装了额外的计量装置来监测其性能。其他几处冰蓄冷设施也在受到监控。 本报告显示了前两个冷却季节的数据分析结果。它将系统性能与标准离心式制冷机进行了比较，并指出了最大限度地利用现有系统节省成本的机会。引文:研讨会，ASHRAE交易，1985年，第91卷，pt。1B芝加哥

Ice storage systems have the potential to save building owners a substantial portion of their air conditioning costs. In addition, electric utilities see this technology as one method to reduce summer peak demands on their systems. Most utilities offer rate incentives to encourage customers to consider this alternative.When one commercial customer decided to install an ice storage system in its new office, the local utility installed additional metering to monitor its performance. Several other ice storage installations are also being monitored.This report represents the results of the data analysis for the first two cooling seasons. It compares the system performance to a standard centrifugal chiller and also points out opportunities for maximizing the savings with the existing system.
