Domestic hot water usage is responsible for between 17 and 39% of household energy demand [1], [2]; consequently, domestic hot water tanks represent a potentially
1. A hot water energy storage system is a technology designed to store thermal energy in the form of heated water for later use, facilitating the effective balancing of energy demand and supply.2. These
This chapter deals with thermal energy storage for space heating and domestic hot water (DHW) in individual residential buildings. After a short introduction in Section 1
Hot water storage systems have evolved significantly, driven by technological advancements and a growing emphasis on energy conservation. The essence lies in the ability of these systems to store
State of the art Hot water energy storage is a mature technology used at large scale in Europe and all over the world. For example, in France one can count for more than 14 million domestic hot water (DHW) tanks running on electricity and about 10 millions on gas.
One of the most common energy storage systems is the hot water tank based on the sensible heat of water. A heating device produces hot water outside or inside an insulated tank where it is stored for a short period of time (a couple of days maximum). The stored energy depends on the hot water temperature and on the tank volume.
The stored energy depends on the hot water temperature and on the tank volume. The tank insulation determines the thermal losses and limits the storage period. As presented in the figure, fuel is used to generate hot water. The use of solar energy and heat pumps (HP) are more and more employed to produce hot water with a high efficiency.
Consequently, water is a suitable heat storage material, and water is today used as a heat storage material in almost all heat stores for energy systems making use of a heat storage operating in the temperature interval from 0 °C to 100 °C. 2.2. Principles of sensible heat storage systems involving water
The most important thermal characteristics for hot water stores are: heat storage capacity, heat loss, heat exchange capacity rates to and from the hot water storage and temperature stratification in the hot water store.
Energy stored - or available - in hot water can be calculated Water is heated to 90 oC. The surrounding temperature (where the energy can be transferred to) is 20 oC. The energy stored in the water tank can be calculated as A solar energy water buffer tank with 200 US gallons is heated 200 oF. The solar energy stored can be calculated as
