Abstract
An apparatus for measuring ice amount of ice tank for ice-storage type air-conditioning system generally includes an operation control circuit and a software control flow for the operation control circuit, characterized in that the amount of ice in the ice tank is precisely calculated from the conductivity of the water in the ice tank through the operation control circuit as input data for energy management control system to improve the efficiency for the air-conditioning system.
