Thermal stratification or improper thermal mixing within these tanks can lead to poor hot water temperature control. The location of the piping connections must ensure thorough thermal mixing within the tanks. The heat reclaim supply should enter the water heater tank approximately 1/3 down from the top of the tank.

A chiller is made up of the 4 major components required for the refrigeration process which are: a) compressor, b) condenser, c) evaporator and d) expansion valve. To produce chilled water, the refrigerant absorbs heat from the water and thus, chilling the water to about 6.7°C (44°F).
The design parameters are: TES tank total capacity. Inlet and outlet water temperature. Reynolds and Froude numbers. Tank height and diameter. The chilled/hot water tank design is defined by selecting the day with a higher cooling/heating load. The design must also take into account two scenarios: partial storage and full storage thermal energy ...

Latent heat storage (LHS) leverages phase changes in materials like paraffins and salts for energy storage, used in heating, cooling, and power generation. It relies on the absorption and release of heat during phase change, the efficiency of which is determined by factors like storage material and temperature [ 102 ].
