Part Thermal Energy Storage (TES) Discharging & Chiller Plant Utilization Tanks

  • Parts:

    • Chillers (1 & 2): Chiller 1 cools water; Chiller 2 is a spare.
    • TES Tank: Stores cold water to use when power fails.
    • Heat Exchangers (HEX): Move cold water to where it’s needed.
    • Pipes & Valves: Control water flow (green for supply, blue for return).
This system uses Thermal Energy Storage (TES) and chillers to keep data centers cool during power loss, like a backup UPS. Here’s a simple breakdown:

  • How It Works:

    • Chiller 1 and the TES tank team up to supply cold water during power loss.
    • The TES tank releases stored cold water to prevent overheating.
    • Benefits:
    • Backup Power: Keeps servers cool during outages.
    • Reliable: Built to tough standards.
    • Fits Easily: Works with your existing setup.

  • Flow:

    • Chiller 1 fills the TES tank, which releases cold water when needed.
    • Water loops back through heat exchangers to stay efficient.
    • Perfect for keeping your data center running smoothly during emergencies!

Technical Standard

Performance

Buffer tanks must follow safety and insulation standards. If pressurized, it needs to meet  ASME. It should be well-insulated, pressure-tested, and support smart monitoring for open protocol like BACnet or Modbus.

ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Section VIII, DIV.1

Standard for pressure vessels to ensure safe design, construction, and testing of pressurized tank.

Insulation and Energy Codes

Buffer tanks must meet local building and energy efficiency codes, including minimum insulation (R-value) requirements.

Smart monitoring

Smart monitoring features available for integrations.

A buffer tank is a thermal energy storage device used in data center cooling systems to provide stable temperature and flow. Its performance is defined by its ability to store and release thermal energy effectively and reliably.

Pressure Vessel Standards

Applies if the tank is a pressurized vessel. Ensures it’s safe under pressure

Computational Fluid Dynamics

Optimization of tank designs, leads to improved uniform flow and thermal stratification.​

Thermal Performance Standards

Evaluates storage and heat loss behavior and ASHRAE Standards (USA)
