Thermal Energy Storage

One of the first rules of wind and solar are that they are not consistent over the course of a day and over the seasons.

It is well known that this energy has to be saved for when there is no sun and wind.

Most people associate this savings using electric batteries, Thermogym understands that there are other ways to save this energy.

One of the most promising way of saving this would be by just saving the “heat” or “cold”.

The basis of iceboxes in the previous centuries was to save the cold from the winter into blocks of ice, insulate the ice, and then take it out in the summer.

The first refrigeration units made had the goal of making these blocks of ice.

If we go even further back we see for millennia ovens were heated up and then the fire could be reduced and the wall would hold the heat for hours.

It was famous in the south pacific to cook in pits with hot stones.

In today’s world, we need these units to heat up and cool down in a quick and efficient way.

In order to withstand the heat of an oven, Thermogym’s stainless steel tubes can withstand the heat.

Imagine a heat battery that can heat up during cheap energy during the day, and release hot water to the house in the evening when people are at home.

A heat exchanger is required in order to both charge and discharge these units.

We have years of experience with these types of system, so if you are a designer, or just trying to improve an existing unit, our engineering team can do the required calculations and design a unit for you.
