Extra-Pak® Ice Coil

• Designed and manufactured to meet the requirements of ASME Code B31.5
• 0.060-inch tube wall thickness for increased coil life (90% greater wall thickness than other manufacturers)
• Pressure tested underwater to 400 psig (2.75 mPa)
• Reliably provides 34º to 42ºF (1.1º to 5.5ºC) chilled water at all times
• Reduces energy costs by shifting peak electric power and energy use to off peak periods
• Ideal for urban installations and retrofit projects where real estate or building space is at a premium

In the typical full thermal storage system, the refrigeration system (chillers) generates ice at night when electrical utility rates are typically lowest (off-peak). During the day, when utility rates are higher (on-peak), the ice melts to provide cooling to the building. 

In the partial thermal storage system, a reduced size chiller or refrigeration system operates in conjunction with the ice storage to meet the peak cooling loads. There are several types of partial storage systems whose application is dependent on building loads, system equipment and energy costs. However, many partial storage systems are used to “shave off” peak energy demands to reduce operating costs.

The product technology EVAPCO provides for the thermal storage industry is referred to as "ice on coil". In this type of system, cylinders of ice are built onto the tubes of hot dipped galvanized steel coils. In most systems that use this technology, multiple banks of coils are submerged under water in field constructed concrete tanks.

Coil Construction

• Each coil is tested twice at 400 psig (2.75 mPa) air pressure under water to assure it is leak free
• Corrosion resistant with galvanized finish

Counter-Current Circuiting

• Increases total ice storage of a coil by 20%
• Eliminates disadvantage of tapering
• Most efficient use of coil/tank volume
• Design creates the same amount of ice as can be generated with an idealized constant temperature directly evaporating refrigerant

Extra-Pak Ice Coils

• Features elliptical tubes to increase packing density by 6%
• Maximizes surface area using elliptical tubes to provide over 20% additional ice surface area for greater heat transfer characteristics
• Elliptical tubes offer increased packing efficiency over round tube design
