Abstract:
A compound refrigeration system is provided for use with a thermal storage system. A water chiller and a brine chiller are provided, with a primary compressor pulling refrigerant through the water chiller and a booster compressor pulling refrigerant through the brine chiller and applying the refrigerant to the inlet of the primary compressor. The high pressure stage compressor and the low pressure stage booster compressor operate simultaneously during nighttime hours, chilling both water for air conditioning and brine for making ice. Only the high pressure stage compressor operates during daylight hours, chilling water which is further chilled by heat exchange with the ice formed during the night.
