Full Description

Component models have been developed for performance simulation of equipment typically found in static ice storage systems. The models have been incorporated into the component-based simulator developed at a national laboratory as a part of the DOE-2 building energy analysis computer program. Several ice storage system configurations and control strategies may be defined and simulated through interconnection of these components. The current software package, called CBS/ICE, is limited to static ice-on-coil-type ice builders. This paper describes the general features of CBS/ICE and illustrates its capabilities with a sample ice storage system simulation.
