Abstract

A novel simple, reliable and thermally efficient apparatus for incorporating thermal energy storage in domestic-sized air-conditioning systems is disclosed. This thermal energy storage apparatus for chilled water air-conditioning systems incorporates a chilled-water (or other chilled liquid) loop with two previously patented apparatus. The addition of a reliable and low cost chilled water loop to thermal energy systems for domestic-sized air-conditioning systems enables simple citing and modular construction of the thermal energy storage apparatus
