Thermal-Energy-Storage Air-Conditioning (TES-AC), a sustainable form of Air-Conditioning (AC) operates by storing thermal energy as chilled water when energy demand is low during nighttime. Later it uses the stored thermal energy during the daytime to cool the indoor air of the building the next day.
Many applications have been employed, for example, cool storage systems for air-conditioning, natural cooling of energy-efficient building. CTES are also widely used in various industrial applications such as food and pharmacy processing, where large short duration loads are often required.
Based on the literature survey and to the best of the authors'' knowledge, no recent review has been conducted on the VCRS for summarizing, describing, and comparing these technologies in depth till now. The latest review on the VCRS was made by Park et al. [10] in 2015, but it was mainly focused on the configuration of the VCRS, such
9.3. Saving on the maintenance cost. The average cost of maintaining an air-cooled chiller unit in Saudi Arabia is about SR 100 per kW (cooling) per year, based on 20 years of useful chiller-life. A reduction of 1820 kW (cooling) in the chiller capacity will reduce the yearly maintenance cost by SR 182,000.

Ice storage air conditioning is the process of using ice for thermal energy storage. The process can reduce energy used for cooling during times of peak electrical demand. Alternative power sources such as solar can also use the technology to store energy for later use. This is practical because of water''s large heat of fusion: one metric ton of water (one cubic metre) can store 334 megajoules (MJ
