Water-cooled energy storage system quality

Why is water used as cold energy storage material in data centers?

Water is generally used as cold energy storage material in data centers, because of its low price, high specific heat capacity and no pollution or corrosion . LTES stores thermal energy when the storage materials undergo a phase change process from one physical state to another.

What are the applications of water-based storage systems?

Aside from thermal applications of water-based storages, such systems can also take advantage of its mechanical energy in the form of pumped storage systems which are vastly use for bulk energy storage applications and can be used both as integrated with power grid or standalone and remote communities.

Are water-based solar thermal storages suitable for industrial applications?

In a review conducted by Kocak et al. (2020), regarding sensible solar storages for industrial section, it mentioned that the usage of water-based solar thermal storages for low temperature industrial applications such as pasteurization, cleaning and pre-heating processes, lead to considerable declining in fuel cost and CO 2 emissions.

Can chilled water storage technology be applied to data centers?
