ABSTRACT:
A heat storage system consisting of a compartmented tank containing a liquid medium capable of storing heat therein, a flow control system operable to establish a liquid flow in the tank operable to concentrate the hottest liquid in a compartment remote from the outer tank wall, and sucessively less hot liquid in compartments successively closer to the outer tank wall, whereby to minimize heat loss from the tank through its walls, a pumping system operable to remove liquid from the coolest compartment of the tank to an external heater and return it to the hottest compartment of the tank, and a pumping system operable to remove liquid from the hottest region of the tank to a heat-consuming external load device such as a home heating system, and return it to the coolest region of the tank. A simple reversal of parts permits the system to be used for the storage of negative heat, or cold, for use in operating a heat-absorbing external load device, such as a home cooling system. In the hot tank form, some of the tank liquid may be vaporized and the latent heat of vaporization stored for future use, and in the cold tank, some of the tank liquid may be frozen and the latent heat of fusion stored for future use.
