Reliable cooling supply in an emergency
Some areas are particularly dependent on a reliable cooling supply and continuous cooling. These include operating rooms in hospitals, server rooms, data center and some industrial plants. In pharmaceutical production, for example, even small temperature fluctuations can render entire batches of drugs unusable.
In the data center, a cooling failure can lead to servers being shut down and unavailable. Emergency cooling is usually provided in these temperature-critical areas. Ice storage tanks as backup coolers have a number of advantages compared to conventional chillers.
No reliance on chillers
Ice storage systems are stand-alone systems that do not depend on chillers or refrigerants. They can operate in the event of a power failure or when chillers are unavailable due to technical failure. In these cases, ice storage systems provide the required continuity of cooling in temperature-critical areas.
Flexibility and adaptability
Ice storage tanks can be easily integrated into existing refrigeration systems. They are available in different sizes and can be adapted to the actual cooling requirements in an emergency. Ice storage systems offer maximum flexibility to meet the specific requirements of an emergency cooling supply.
sp.ICE ice storage - rapid-response emergency cooling, long-lasting cooling supply
The sp.ICE has been developed with the aim of achieving extremely fast charging and discharging. For emergency cooling, this means that the required cooling is available very quickly and that there are no interruptions in the cooling supply. In an emergency, the speed and reliability of a cooling system is critical to protect critical assets or avoid costly downtime and data loss in a data center.
The high power density of the sp.ICE ensures not only fast, but also sustained cooling. In an emergency, the smallest version of our ice storage unit in a 10ft container can provide over 40 hours of cooling for a server room with a cooling requirement of 25kW.
