Operation of a Heat Bank Thermal Store
| 1. When a hot water outlet is opened the resulting
flow of water is sensed by the flow switch, which in turn switches on the Heat Bank Thermal Store pump. 2. The pump draws hot stored water from the top of the Heat Bank Thermal Store, pulling it through the Heat Exchanger and returning it back into the bottom of the Heat Bank Thermal Store via a diffuser tube. This tube prevents turbulence within the unit keeping stored hot water from mixing with the cold, increasing efficiency. 3. As the stored water passes through the heat exchanger its heat is rapidly transferred to the mains water also running through the heat exchanger but separated from the stored water by numerous plates. 4. When the hot water outlet is closed, the flow switch will turn off the pump, thereby using energy only when required. |
