Fafco has appointed Pure Thermal as its exclusive Sales & Technical Partner/Distributor for the UK and Irish markets.
With over 1,400 operational IceBat systems across Europe, Fafco is now bringing its proven Cold Thermal Energy Storage technology to the UK addressing the increasing demand for cost-effective and resilient cooling solutions.
IceBat: Delivering Cooling Resilience, Peak Shaving and Cost + Carbon Savings
The IceBat system is an advanced Cold Thermal Energy Storage (CTES) Phase Change System that enhances cooling system efficiency while significantly reducing operating costs and carbon emissions.
By leveraging low-cost off-peak electricity to create & store cooling energy, IceBat provides a fast-reacting and highly flexible alternative to conventional electrical battery storage making it particularly suited to the UK’s evolving energy landscape.
Meeting the UK’s growing energy storage needs
As energy costs fluctuate and grid resilience becomes increasingly critical, the demand for cost-effective thermal storage solutions is rising. Unlike traditional electrical battery storage, IceBat provides a highly economical and efficient way to store and utilise energy for cooling applications.
“We’re seeing increasing requirements for load shifting and also capacity management within cooling applications” commented Garry Broadbent of Pure Thermal, continuing “having developed a strong relationship with Fafco, and being extremely impressed with their proven track record, we are really pleased to now be appointed as their UK partner as we see significant potential for Cold Thermal Energy Storage in the UK & Ireland.”
With a 40-year track record and an installed capacity exceeding 3.6GWh of Cold Thermal Energy Storage, IceBat is a well proven solution which is now available in the UK with the capability to deliver immediate benefits for both industrial and commercial cooling applications.
To launch IceBat to the UK market Pure Thermal is hosting an open day at the Institute of Engineering & Technology (IET) Savoy Place London on Tuesday the 18 March with Cold Thermal Storage Technical/Application Seminars throughout the day.
The Fafco and Pure Thermal application/technical teams will be present on the day to provide attendees with case study overviews, system design details and application advice along with a full technical briefing detailing how IceBat is currently applied throughout Europe.
Register to attend the 18 March technical seminar day and learn more about IceBat by sending an email to [email protected] with the subject Cold Battery Seminar and the session times will be sent through.
