Decoupling Cooling Demand from Power Draw
Making cooling flexible and dispatchable allows to accelerate, expand and optimize the use of your power sources
Increase IT Capacity
The system charges the Ice energy on summer nights, using the free capacity created by lower ambient temperatures as the day's heat starts to climb. The system discharges it stored cold energy into your chilled water loop, shaving about 50% of your chiller's load. That way the curve is fattened and new headroom is created now available for new IT capacity.

Increase IT Capacity
During design-day conditions, lower nighttime cooling demand leaves power available for charging. Stored energy is then used during the day, freeing cooling power to increase compute capacity by up to 15%. Unlike batteries, reducing cooling demand also lets the facility’s chillers serve remaining loads more efficiently, freeing even more power for compute.
How it Works
Nostromo's IceBrick transforms water into a powerful energy storage solution. By creating ice in a highly efficient process during off-peak hours, it stores cooling energy for later use. When demand peaks, the stored ice cools the facility's circulating water instead of relying on the chillers. The result is lower peak electricity use, more capacity, greater flexibility and efficiency, and a more resilient cooling system.
