The cold energy storage business, Organic Heat Exchangers (O-Hx) has secured an agreement with a UK-based vertical farm to trial its EnergiVault- a trademarked/patented, cold thermal energy storage battery and charger system that provides dynamic cooling power for industrial refrigeration.
The CTO at the vertical farm said: “The potential value that EnergiVault can add to our operations is vast, and includes increased performance, power-flexing add-on, and straight-forward integration. We are hopeful that by integrating this technology into our systems we’ll be able to deliver tangible benefits to our customers, increasing their operational efficiency and ultimately boosting their productivity both in terms of crop yield and profit.”
