- ggm 9y agoYes. its not evaporative cooling: you have a watermass you chill down with offpeak power, and then use as the coolth source to chill dry air in the aircon, rather than using a normal fridge chiller circuit. Its power-shifting. The total powercost is probably comparable to on-demand chilling but you shift the power budget to off-peak, or other sources.
