THERMAL FLEXIBILITY · PREDICTED AND CONTROLLED

Turn refrigeration
into a battery.

KaldFlyte predicts cooling demand, manages thermal storage and coordinates refrigeration assets ahead of what the site needs next — reducing peak demand, preserving cooling headroom and creating a flexible energy resource.

01 / THE CORE INSIGHT

Cooling production and cooling demand don't have to happen at the same time.

Refrigeration systems are designed around maintaining temperature, but they are rarely operated around what the site — or the energy system — will need next.

Thermal storage changes that. Cooling can be produced ahead of demand, held in reserve, and released when compressors or electrical capacity are most constrained.

KaldFlyte makes that flexibility predictable and controllable.

FLEXIBILITY / RESILIENCE

Flexibility
has value.

Especially when you know how much you have — and when to use it.

02 / OUTCOMES

What KaldFlyte delivers.

Reduce peak demand

Store cooling ahead of expensive or high-load periods, then use it when refrigeration demand is highest.

Create cooling resilience

Hold cooling capacity in reserve so the site has additional headroom when compressors, electrical infrastructure, or the grid are under stress.

Create a flexible energy resource

Make available cooling capacity measurable, forecastable and dispatchable — ready for demand response and energy markets where those opportunities exist.

03 / OPERATING LOOP

Connect. Model.
Dispatch. Verify.

KaldFlyte connects site data with weather and operating conditions, builds a model of how the site behaves, dispatches available thermal flexibility, and checks the real result against the prediction.

Each cycle improves the next decision.

The KaldFlyte operating loop: connect site data, model behaviour, dispatch flexibility and verify results
01 / CONNECT

Connect to existing refrigeration, metering and controls infrastructure using the protocols already present.

02 / MODEL

Build an operating model from weather, load, temperature and equipment data, continually checked against reality.

03 / DISPATCH

Decide when to build ice, hold reserve, pre-condition the store, coast safely or discharge cooling.

04 / VERIFY

Measure every dispatch against its predicted outcome and feed the result back into the next decision.

04 / AVAILABLE CAPACITY

The supermarket is already a thermal system.

KaldFlyte understands how much flexibility is available, how long it can be used safely, and when that flexibility is most valuable.

A supermarket has several sources of flexibility, each with different limits and durations.

IceCap

Dedicated thermal battery

A purpose-built thermal battery that charges with cooling ahead of demand, stores that capacity as ice, and discharges it when cooling or electrical headroom is needed.

Refrigerated cases

Case TTL (time-to-limit)

A known period of safe temperature headroom that can allow cases to coast temporarily without compromising product conditions.

Cold rooms

Cold-room TTL

Stored thermal mass and safe temperature range create another source of short-duration flexibility.

Building envelope

Thermal headroom

The building and its internal mass can be pre-conditioned when conditions make that useful.

Indoor conditions

Operating constraint

KaldFlyte treats humidity and indoor conditions as limits to optimisation, not values to sacrifice.

Refrigeration plant

Plant and electrical headroom

Thermal flexibility can reduce compressor loading and preserve electrical capacity when the site is under stress.

KaldFlyte coordinates these resources as one thermal system — while respecting the safe operating limits of each.

05 / DEDICATED STORAGE

Flexibility starts with something physical.

KaldFlyte provides the intelligence. IceCap provides dedicated thermal capacity.

IceCap stores cooling as ice alongside the refrigeration system, allowing cooling production and cooling demand to be separated in time.

KaldFlyte forecasts when that capacity will be most valuable — building ice ahead of demand, holding reserve when resilience matters, and discharging when the site needs additional cooling or electrical headroom.

IceCap is not the only source of flexibility in a supermarket, but it provides a large, controllable reserve that makes the wider thermal system significantly more capable.

06 / MARKET FOCUS

Built around supermarket refrigeration.

Supermarkets have large, continuous cooling loads, meaningful thermal inertia, and a strong operational need for resilience.

IceCap adds controllable stored cooling. KaldFlyte decides when that capacity — together with the flexibility already present in the store — is best created, held, or used.

The result is a refrigeration system that can respond to what is coming next, rather than simply reacting to what is happening now.

The same approach can extend to cold storage, industrial cooling and data-centre thermal systems.

We're working with refrigeration operators and energy teams to identify the first sites where thermal flexibility can make a measurable difference. If you're evaluating peak demand, refrigeration resilience or thermal storage, we'd like to understand your site.
