Abstract:
1. A cooling system that reduces the end user cost of energy, comprising: a compressed air energy storage system that stores energy in the form of compressed air, comprising a primary compressor, a tank and an expander that releases the compressed air, whereby the energy released by the expander generates chilled air, a desalination system that removes salt and/or other impurities from seawater comprising a crystallization chamber that uses the chilled air to chill the seawater and form ice particles inside said chamber; a thermal energy storage system comprising a separation tank that stores the chilled water derived from the ice particles; and an air conditioning system communicating with the thermal energy storage system, wherein the chilled water from said chamber is circulated to the separation tank, and wherein the chilled water from the separation tank is withdrawn, and used to provide cooling for the air conditioning system.
