DEVELOPMENT OF LOW DEPTH, MULTI-TANK, AND TEMPERATURE-STRATIFIED THERMAL STORAGE TANK : EXAMINATION IN GIFU BUILDING(Environmental Engineering)

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present the development of a temperature stratified type of thermal storage tank with a high thermal storage performance composed of parallel-connected tanks with a shallow water depth of 1. 5 to 2 meters, which can be installed in the double slab space under the basement of medium rise buildings. In order to achieve this object, the inflow/outflow port which enables the flow rate of port to be almost equal with one another was developed, and the effect of connecting hole through tank partition on canceling stored heat imbalance which is attribute to parallel connection of tanks was studied.
