Thanks for your answer. I am using the ZoneHVAC:RefrigerationChillerSet, but I'm still confused about how to transfer the energy.

The ZoneHVAC:RefrigerationChillerSet exchange energy directly with a zone, while an ice thermal storage is typically connected to input and output nodes (plant loop). I am new to EnergyPlus so I'm not sure how to connect the two system.

2015-04-21 21:51:29 -0500 asked a question Thermal storage system in refrigerated warehouse

Hi everyone,

We are trying to model a refrigerated warehouse in OpenStudio/EnergyPlus. The building includes office spaces and walk-in coolers. The refrigeration system serves several walk-in coolers and an ice thermal storage tank for the HVAC system. Is there any way I can connect the refrigeration system and the HVAC system in EnergyPlus?

Thanks in advance for your help.
