Thermal Storage/Buffer Tanks

Proper Cooling system design with adequate backup is essential in maintaining the integrity of data centers. Thermal Energy Storage (TES) is a key component in overcoming the potential effects of cooling failure due to power loss or any other failure in Datacentres. The chilled water from chillers are stored in insulated tanks. This stored, cooled water is then used for space conditioning during times of primary chiller down time due to temporary power loss. TES Tank has internal flow diffusers to avoid mixing of hot and cold water inside the tank during discharging and charging cycle. TES is a form of storage that can be either a pressurized ASME vessel or atmospheric storage tank (AWWA D100 or API650).

CiNQ, with years of experience in design, construction, installation and commissioning of Thermal Energy Storage Tanks for Datacentres, Cooling Plants and Mission critical facilities has wide range of product to meet the cooling requirement and can be shipped to any part of the world. Below is a reference table for our ready to ship Thermal Storage Tanks for Datacenters.

Note:
1 - The indicated storage capacity is based on a Delta T of 9 degree C. For design related to other Delta T’s please contact [email protected]. Thermodynamic TES tank calculations are specific to each project. CiNQ will only confirm/determine tank size and thermal capacity of TES tanks after receipt of order, all required design parameters. All tank fabrications will be in strict accordance with ASME Section VIII, Division 1, latest edition and ASHRAE Standards.
2 - Tank thickness and construction will be based on the specified Design Code
3 – Internal Flow distributor will be provided based on the peak flow rate required for the tank
