CoolAirTM DC: Thermal and Compressed-Air Storage (TACAS)
The CoolAir DC is the first minute-for-minute alternative to batteries for UPS and telecom applications. Active Power was the first company to market a family of viable battery-replacement products: the CleanSource DC and CleanSource UPS, which are based on flywheel technology. The flywheel products have proven rugged and reliable in a wide variety of applications, but their relatively short backup times (compared to batteries) have been perceived as a disadvantage at sites where a backup generator is not present.
The CoolAir DC is a completely new design that provides ruggedness, reliability and long backup times. The new product attaches to a typical UPS exactly like a battery cabinet and provides exactly the same functionality -- but without the unreliable performance and environmental issues of lead-acid batteries.
How does it work?
The CoolAir DC stores energy in the form of compressed air and heat. During a utility outage, the compressed air is routed through a Thermal Storage Unit to acquire heat energy. The heated air spins a simple turbine/alternator to produce electric power. The CoolAir DC also contains a small, continuous-duty flywheel to support the critical load during the brief period required for the turbine to spin up to speed.
This TACAS technology is expected to be competitive in cost and footprint to quality batteries. The new system will handle the same challenging range of ambient temperatures and step-loads as the flywheel-based products. Unlike flywheels, however, a single TACAS module can provide up to 15 minutes of backup power under full load. For lighter loads, TACAS units can be configured to provide hours of backup power.
