The ice storage is also equipped with a radar sensor for level measurement, installed on top of the storage. The latter measures the distance d of the water surface from the sensor itself, which changes over time due to the changing ice fraction in the storage.
The expression “ice storage” commonly defines thermal storage employing the enthalpy difference of water during its phase change from liquid to solid . The high latent heat of fusion of water results in a higher energy density for this type of storage compared to water-based sensible storage, leading to smaller volumes.
Other two indicators have been used to assess the seasonal performance of the ice storage. Its seasonal efficiency η s t is defined as the ratio between the heat rejected into the storage via the bypass pipe on the upstream branch (u b p) and the heat extracted by the water-to-water heat pump, i.e., the heat flowing through the downstream pipe (d).
The validation with experimental measurements of 75 m3 ice storage model buried in the ground showed good agreement in terms of heat extracted from the storage and ground temperatures above and below the storage. Measured ground temperatures on the sides of the storage were instead over-estimated by the model.
