Claim 3:
4. The method according to claim 2, wherein the latent TES system comprises a first tank and second tank interconnected by the latent flow path for flow of the latent working fluid between the first tank and the second tank through the heat exchanger, wherein the first tank comprises the latent working fluid at a temperature above its freezing point, and the second tank comprises ice slurry of the latent working fluid during operation;
wherein the method comprises during charging, pumping the latent working fluid from the first tank through the heat exchanger to the second tank in counterflow with the gas flow through the heat exchanger and transferring thermal energy from the water to the gas in the heat exchanger and forming ice slurry by the thermal energy transfer.
