Design Condition:
Storage temperature -9 0C
In this design, the designer opted to use the brine from the freezing tank to cool
the ice storage, provided that sufficient amount of brine will be circulated and the brine
level in the freezing tank will not drop from its normal level. Also, single ice storage will
The total load of the storage (QS) will be divided into two and to be added to the
product load of each freezing tank. This shall be carried by the compressor in each tank
and thus increasing the total refrigeration load; the capacity of the compressor,
evaporator, condenser and most of all, the mass flow rate of the refrigerant.

A brine pump will be used to circulate the brine inside the storage coils. One (1)
In most cases, ice storage capacity is never less than twice the daily rate of

Using the maximum ice storage capacity of five times of the daily ice making capacity,
we have
