ShiftThermal - IHEX Technology
FromShift Thermal
Born at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and supported by the NSF and DOE, Shift has proven its technology at every step. IHEX MODULE; Our IHEX module is perfectly suited for both air conditioning and process cooling applications, capable of storage temperatures from 0 to -15°C (32 to 5°F).

Cooling cost savings up to 70%
Efficiently storing ice slurry generates big cooling cost savings.
HOW IHEX INNOVATIONS CUT COSTS:
- 4X the ice generation rate VS traditional systems. :Because no ice sticks to the cold surface, IHEX systems rapidly generate ice.
- An efficiency improvement of up to 20%: By integrating IHEX into a DX (direct-expansion) configuration, we eliminate glycol from the cooling loop.
- Storing ice as a slurry : IHEX’s stored ice slurry responds to demand much more rapidly than traditional ice storage (think of a slushy versus ice cubes)
Improved chiller fleet operation during off-design conditions
A flexible, responsive IHEX module can minimize strain on the rest of the cooling system.
IHEX INNOVATIONS SHOW:
A flexible, responsive IHEX module can minimize strain on the rest of the cooling system.
IHEX INNOVATIONS SHOW:
- High, steady discharge rates. : Our discharge rates outcool ice-on-coil systems by 20X, with < 1 °F variation in discharge temperature across 90% depth-of-discharge, buffering rapid load swings so that the chillers don’t have to.
- Steady-state charging at any depth-of-charge. : A consistent freezing rate across full and part-load operation allows optimization of the chiller system, unlike ice-on-coil.
Configurability for any application
Shift’s IHEX systems can be added in separate, modular increments.
IHEX OFFERS:
- Separate containers for ice generation and storage.
- By separating the components, marginal storage costs are less than 20% of competing solutions
- IHEX modules and storage tanks can be added incrementally and independently to fit each project’s budget and timing.
- Storage tank integration of various shapes and sizes.
- Storage tanks can be sized to fit the space available.
