TRANSCRIPT

  • Slide 1
  • Hybrid Cooling for Data Centers The Ice Bear Randy Zwetzig Vice President of Market Development
  • Slide 2
  • Ice Energy was Created to Solve The Peak Electrical Demand Problem Peak Demand: Drives higher cost of energy Uses the most polluting energy Creates need to build new peak power plants (growth of peak at 3-5 times base) Primary cause of rolling blackouts & equipment failure Data/IT centers are large users of energy Typical Summer Day Utility Load Profile Other Commercial, Residential, and Industrial Commercial Lighting Commercial A/C Residential A/C A/C is the Root Cause ~40% of demand during peak Source: California Energy Commission 6 a.m.12 noon6 p.m. * Estimates for light commercial and residential cooling in California from ARI & CEC data
  • Slide 3
  • The Hotter it is, the Bigger the Problem A/C Efficiency Drops as Temperature Increases Source: Pacific Gas and Electric Company Time Dependent Valuation (TDV) Economics Methodology
  • Slide 4
  • 4 The Ice Energy Hybrid Cooling Solution By using less expensive, less polluting, nighttime power to create & store cooling for use the next day Transforming air conditioning to be: less costly more efficient more reliable green
  • Slide 5
  • 5 Ice Energy Founded in 2003 to bring transformation product to market Solves the root cause of peak demand: Air Conditioning Utility tested Anaheim, Southern California Edison, Los Angeles, Burbank, Pasadena, Glendale, Riverside, Sacramento, Palm Springs area, San Diego Gas & Electric, Nevada Power Approved by California Energy Commission for building standards Large programs with PG&E, SCE Industry Highlights ASHRAE/ARI: Innovative Green Product, AHR Expo 2009 ASHRAE/ARI: Innovative Energy Management Product of the Year, AHR Expo 2004 GreenBuild Product of the Year Worlds Best Technology Award LEED/Green Building accredited Reduction in GHG emissions verified by industry leading 3 rd parties
  • Slide 6
  • 6 Typical Data or Communications Center Application Return Air Data Aire compressor locked-out for 6 hours during on-peak 300 watts pumps refrigerant to RTU evaporator coil Ice Bear uses Data Aires Auxiliary Water Evaporator Coil Combines data center air conditioning with patented Ice Bear energy storage technology, using each when most efficient Off-peak hours: Conventional equipment provides cooling On-peak hours: Ice Bear unit provides cooling using only 300 watts
  • Slide 7
  • 7 Repeatable Results: 15+ Year Product Life
  • Slide 8
  • 8 The Ice Bear Hybrid Air Conditioner CoolData Controller Refrigerant pump Compressor & condensing unit Access door for compressor and water pump Weight (approx.): 1500 lbs. transport weight (dry) 5500 lbs. operating weight (filled) 155 lbs. per square foot Ice Storage section Size: Length:100 Width: 61 Height: 49
