Abstract
A system includes a flash tank and a thermal storage tank. The flash tank is configured to store refrigerant and discharge a flash gas. The thermal storage tank is fluidically coupled to the flash tank and configured, when a power outage is determined to be occurring, to receive at least a portion of the flash gas from the flash tank, and remove heat from the flash gas. When a power outage is determined not to be occurring, the thermal storage tank directs refrigerant to a compressor.
