[EnergyPlus_Support] a problem with model: thermal storage:ice

["jingjuan_feng" <dovehawkin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I am now trying to simulate an ice thermal storage system with 
EnergyPlus, and I have studied the 5zoneicestorage and 
Detailedicestorage example file as reference. In this file, in the 
charging mode, the chilled water setpoint is set to be -5. However, at 
this tempreture the water is already frozen. Usually, this tempreture 
is given to glycol or brine. What's more, in the <Input and Output 
reference> and <Engineering Reference>, I can not clearly find out the 
loop for glycol. Since it has suggestted that the ice storage tank 
should be placed in the chilled water supply side outlet branch, and 
must be followed by a pipe component in series, I have some 
difficulties in adding purchased cooling in cw supply loop,because 
the supply side have two type of fluid: one is water and another is 
glycol that only one bypass branch is not proper. 
I am now in urgent need for the answer. Thank you very much!
