Introduction
This technical guide is written to provide a complete and
comprehensive procedure for the installation of Ice Bank®
Energy Storage tanks. It is not the intent of this guide to
exclude sound and proven methods of installation by
contractors who have, through experience, developed an
efficient method of installation expertise.
All work must be performed in accordance with LOCAL,
STATE and NATIONAL codes. After reading this manual, if
any questions arise, please call your local representative
or CALMAC® Applications Engineering Department at
(201) 797-1511 or e-mail info@calmac.com.
1. GENERAL
a. Module Description. The storage module
consists of a plastic tank full of water (ice in the charged
state) in which a specially designed heat exchanger is
immersed. The heat exchanger consists of a coiled mat of
plastic tubes, which are spaced evenly throughout the
entire volume of water. The unique spiral counterflow
configuration allows ice to build up evenly throughout the
tank without tank damage. An empty space is provided
above the heat exchanger for expansion of water during
freezing.
b. Model Types. The tank model numbers are
appended with suffixes to specify different configurations.
The complete model number can be found on the rating
plate located on the tank cover adjacent to the
connections.
c. Damage in Transit. Upon receipt of the shipment
of this equipment, inspect all tanks and packages for
external damage. If external damage is noted, mark the
Table 1.

on the delivering carrier's waybill and request the services
of an inspector.
Since all materials are sold FOB factory, it is the
responsibility of the consignee to file claims with the
delivering carrier for equipment received in damaged
condition. Normally, claims for any and all damages
should be filed with the freight company within five
working days of the receipt of shipment.
2. SITE LAYOUT
a. Floor Loading. When filled with water the tanks
are quite heavy. Consequently the structure supporting
the tanks must be capable of bearing this weight. Refer to
Table 1
for the filled weight of each tank model and
required floor loading strength. The plastic bottom of the
tank must be level (¼ inch /6 mm) over the tank diameter
and supported over its entire area. For all "C" Model tanks
(See Section
Step
ii) the adjoining tanks must be on a
continuous level surface.
b. Partial Burial. Partially burying the tanks in the
ground is permissible as long as one foot of the tank
protrudes above ground level. The tanks must be installed
on a concrete pad which is level and completely supports
the bottom of the tank. (See Specifications for Partially
Buried Ice Bank® tanks, #CS-3).
c. Full Burial. Tanks sitting on a concrete pad may be
placed in a pit. A layer of sand then wood chips or top soil
may cover the tanks. (See the Installation Manual for
Totally Buried Ice Bank Ice Storage Tanks, #IB-152 for more
information).
