  • @KypHeM it's not necessarily about storing energy, it's about creating a pre-cooled unit during a time when it takes less energy to cool it(at night) and using that stored "cold" to reduce the workload of the compressor during the hotter time of day. It will not maintain it's efficiency over the entire day, but will improve overall energy consumption on hot summer days that require a more aggressive cooling system.

  • 12,000 btu is equivalent of 2000 lbs of ice  melting every hour, this is not going to work.

  • Wow you can't store energy in ice. This is some scam company. The physics just don't work like that.

  • Physics fail. You're not storing energy in the ice, ice forms with the lack of energy (heat). You're maybe saving energy yeah, but please, retardcompanies, get your physics straight.

  • @tnededog I would guess that the system and all fluids are self contained. I assume when they say they freeze "water", it isn't non-treated potable water. But that is just a guess.

  • When the SHTF, I would use that ice as water and care less about AC :)

  • I'm curious how the energy usage compares to having an AC unit that has a cooling tower to cool the condenser coils, making the system an air-to-water system, just as the Ice Energy is... Will there still be a considerable power savings? What about if the AC system, in addition to being air-to-water, it features an Inverter Compressor (variable speed), will the Ice Energy unit still provide net savings?

    Very cool Technology!

  • Have some questions (1) does the water have to be treated for calcium buildup? (2) do you have any protection against refrigerant leak within the coil of water tank? (3) what are the long term effect with using the same water? Don't get me wrong its an impressive unit. I just bad experiences with water units.

  • very cool

  • ice ice baby
