ResumoHot water tanks are today the most commonly used thermal energy storages. The design of the hot water tank is strongly influencing the heat loss of the tank and the thermal stratification inside the tank. Recommendations on good design of hot water tanks are given. Water pit heat storages used in district heating systems are introduced. These heat storages have recently been introduced in large Danish solar heating plants. Measurements of yearly heat storage efficiencies of the water pit heat storages are given. Future trends on hot water stores are given.
