June 11, 2008 – Vol.13 No.12 Ice Energy Introduces Next-Generation Ice Bear Energy Storage Solution. The Ice Bear(R) 30 Hybrid Air Conditioner and companion Ice-Ready(TM) Rooftop Units (RTUs) together represent a fully integrated HVAC solution that expands the market for distributed energy storage, lowers electricity bills, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. The Ice Bear Hybrid Air Conditioner stores cooling energy at night -- when energy generation is cleaner, more efficient and less expensive -- by freezing water within an insulated storage tank. It cools efficiently during the day by circulating chilled refrigerant from the tank to the conventional air conditioning system, eliminating the need to run the energy-intensive compressor during peak daytime hours. During off-peak hours, the conventional HVAC system can operate as usual. Daytime air conditioning energy demand -- typically 40-50 percent of a building's electricity use during expensive peak hours -- can be reduced by as much as 95 percent, and electricity bills lowered by 30 percent or more annually when combined with time-of-use rates.
The Ice Bear Hybrid Air Conditioner, Ice-Ready RTUs expand the applications for hybrid cooling within new construction, renovation and replacement markets. "By enabling commercial buildings to store power and level the daytime load, the Ice Bear and its integrated CoolData(R) Controller bring a powerful new resource into the utility market," said Frank Ramirez, CEO of Ice Energy. Ice Energy(R) is clean technology company focused on developing distributed energy storage solutions and advanced hybrid cooling products and technologies. (6/9/08)
