Future-ready thermal oil systems are at the heart of our power, solar and waste heat storing solutions. In these systems, thermal oil is used to transfer thermal energy from a sink to the ThermalBattery™, before supplying it back to a sink when needed. When charging, hot thermal oil is pumped from heat sources such as electric heaters, heat ...
Most solar thermal installations use a traditional steel tank, coated on the inside with a baked-on layer of enamel (often called the "glass lining") which protects the metal against corrosion and gives the tank a much longer life. The tank is surrounded by foam insulation, on the outside of which a light-gauge steel jacket sits, to protect the ...
