ABSTRACT:
A storage tank having a vertical, cylindrical tank, a fluid inlet, and a fluid outlet, includes an inlet diffuser for introducing inlet cold water uniformly across a horizontal cross section of the tank bottom and thereby foil convection currents that cause mixing of hot and cold fluid so that more hot fluid is recovered at the outlet over time. The tank may comprise a hot water heater where the water stored in the tank is heated within the tank by means disposed internally or externally of the internal storage chamber. Alternately, the water may be heated externally of the tank and stored within the tank.
