ABSTRACT:
A system for receiving, storing and dispensing two different density liquids such as warm and cool water, the system being in the form of a tank with an enclosed upright high density liquid distributor vessel supported on the tank bottom, the liquid distributor vessel having a plurality of spaced apart openings therein and a similar enclosed low density liquid distributor vessel supported adjacent to the tank top and elevationally positioned above the high density liquid distributor with a column member of reduced diameter therebetween. A lower flow diverter is affixed to and radially extends from the high density liquid distributor vessel above the openings and, in like manner, an upper flow diverter is affixed to and radially extends from the low density liquid distributor vessel below the openings. A first conduit extends through the tank wall and to the high density liquid distributor vessel, and a second conduit extends through the tank wall and to the low density liquid distributor vessel. Cool water, being of higher density, is added to and withdrawn from the tank through the first conduit, while warm water, being of low density, is added to or withdrawn from the tank through the second conduit. The low and high density liquids are separated in the vessel by a naturally occurring thermocline that rises and falls in proportion to the quantity of warm or cool water delivered to or withdrawn from the tank.
