Araner - Naturally Stratified Chilled Water Storage Tank
From Thermal Energy Storage Tank
In a naturally stratified chilled-water storage tank, cool and warm volumes of water are stored together without a physical barrier. A stable density gradient prevents mixing of the two volumes. The stable gradient is maintained during storage and operation by varying the direction of flow throughout the tank.
Products Details
Typically, there will be a 0.4 to 0.6m thick thermocline (a region with vertical temperature and density gradients) making a separation between the cold and the hot water. In charging and discharging mode, the cool water is introduced and withdrawn at the bottom of the tank while warm water is introduced and withdrawn at the top diffuser.
The ARANER-designed diffuser systems help to preserve stratification by minimizing the disturbance caused by inlet and outlet flows, supported by extensive CFD studies and R&D of new diffusers.
Benefits
Thermal Energy Storage benefits
Thermal Energy Storage Tanks are beneficial for a cooling plant with variable demand between day and night which is the typical case of District Energy plants. TES Tank is also advisable when Turbine Inlet Air Cooling systems are designed for peak demand.
The TES tank reduces capital and operational cost. ARANER designs, manufactures and installs state-of-the-art thermal energy solutions. We provide tailor-made systems that help our clients achieve the expected results in power augmentation and energy efficiency.
