Trinity Thermal Systems

Demand for electricity during peak demand periods is growing 5 times faster than total demand; leading to the need for more generation capacity – which is expensive and increases carbon emissions. We can leverage the efficiencies of generating and transmitting less-expensive off-peak power to thousands of distributed locations, and deliver it during periods of peak demand. This provides a new and permanent demand-side solution so large that it can result in the elimination of the need for new power plants for 50 years. Our IceCycle products attach to regular HVAC systems. In simple terms they consist of a control module, and a storage vessel that contains either ice or a non-freezing liquid. During off-peak periods the control module tells the AC system to cool the liquid in the tank. During peak periods, the controller shuts off the AC’s compressor and uses the cold water to cool the building. This virtually eliminates electrical demand from the biggest user of peak-period power – the A/C system Our customers are utilities that want to buy megawatts of demand shifted to off-peak periods. Our sweet spot is the 96% of commercial buildings that are 10,000 to 100,000 sq. ft. and the value of this market is over $300 Billion. Our patented functionality provides us tremendous cost and installation advantages, and limits our competitor’s addressable market. Our patent has been challenged and reaffirmed.
