Abstract: A plastic container lid is adapted for removable attachment to a container. The lid comprises spaced inner and outer peripheral walls defining between them a substantially annular sealing seat for a lid retaining ring carried by the container. The outer wall of the lid defines inwardly-positioned projection means to engage the retaining ring of the container, to facilitate retention of the lid on the container. The outer peripheral wall defines at least one circumferentially extending line of tearing weakness to permit separation of at least some of the inwardly positioned projection means from the remainder of the lid. The lid outer wall defines one or more apertures or recesses to provide access to a pry member, to allow prying of the lid away from its retention on a container while causing the line of weakness to tear, permitting removal of the lid and at least partial separation of the projection means from the lid.

Abstract: A thermal energy storage system includes a unique control arrangement to enable it to operate in three steady state operational modes, namely, ice making, direct cooling and shift cooling, as well as two transitory modes, namely hypermigration and pump out. The hypermigration mode enable the thermal energy storage system to switch into the shift cooling mode by desirably positioning the refrigerant charge in the ice module heat exchanger. The pump out mode is needed to move the refrigerant charge into the condensing unit in preparation for the direct cooling mode of operation from either the shift cooling mode or the ice making mode. The thermal energy storage permits the refrigerant charge to be in the proper location when each change in mode operation occurs.
