Abstract

Thermal energy storage (TES) for cooling can be traced to ancient Greece and Rome where snow was transported from distant mountains to cool drinks and for bathing water for the wealthy. It flourished in the mid-1800s in North America where block ice was cut from frozen lakes and shipped south in insulated rail cars for food preservation and health-care facilities.
