4. CALMAC IceBank tanks
At the heart of the Ice Bank tank is the all welded counter-flow heat exchanger. The patented design provides even ice building on the tube surface while helping to manage expansion as the water freezes. IceBank tanks can freeze solid without sustaining damage.
The horizontal counter-flow design doesn’t allow sediment to block passages. And allows some of the warmest ice making temperatures in the industry. Additionally, the heat exchanger tubes are translucent, for easy visual inspections, which makes commissioning and service easier. This CALMAC design also discharges very evenly, assuring predictable discharge of the entire amount of stored cooling. Learn more about IceBank.
5. Sustainable and reliable storage
CALMAC means bulletproof reliability. The entire wetted surface of the IceBank tank is made of non corroding materials for a reliable, trouble free life. All internal piping is thermally welded polyethylene. For sustainability, we’ve eliminated the use of ABS and PVC materials, gluing agents, and all internal mechanical fittings in the construction of IceBank tanks. During manufacturing, we eliminated the use of water. Our tanks are 99% reusable or recyclable. At CALMAC we walk the talk. Our manufacturing facility in New Jersey is LEED Gold certified. Learn how IceBank lowers your environmental impact.
6. Local customer support
With a local representative, you have a single source for design, installation, operation and maintenance of your cooling system components. That includes storage tanks, heat exchangers, chiller, controls, and more. Enjoy the convenience of working with one of our 200 local reps around the world. Contact us.
7. Superior engineering
CALMAC IceBank storage tanks are rigorously designed to be simple with amazing capabilities. The tank is made of a single seamless piece of polyethylene for containment and structure. Cataloged performance data gives designers all the data needed to design the perfect energy storage system. IceBank tanks are modular—so you can add more tanks over time and relocate them easily. Installation is simple. CALMAC provides as standard, a limited five year parts warranty on the internal workings and a 10 year limited parts warranty on the tank vessel. Learn more about IceBank.
