Following up on its success with its patented Thermal Tank in a range of commercial applications ranging from hospitality venues to commercial MDUs (Multi-Dwelling Units), Thermal Energy HQ is debuting both an expanded line of its commercial Thermal Tanks plus showing a preview of its upcoming residential version. In addition, so that AHR attendees can literally get an inside look at the system, the company will have a cut-away walk-in Tank on the show floor.
Explains company founder and inventor Garth Schultz, “with market success and a large number of successful Thermal Tank installations now under our belt, we’re bringing all that to AHR to provide the HVAC industry with a look at the future of Thermal Energy storage and tank engineering. The Tank is innovative – constructed from ultra-efficient engineered thermoplastics and assembled in lightweight building blocks – so that it’s actually hard for people hearing about it to believe that one person could actually get one through a standard doorway carrying all the pieces by themselves. Seeing this cut-away and actually being able to get inside it will be our ‘picture that saves a thousand words’ so to speak. You have to see it to believe it, and attendees will.”
Thermal Energy HQ’s Tank represents a reimagining of the concept of liquid storage and has potential to change the way the HVAC industry approaches system installation and commissioning. It is entirely modular, with no piece of the Tank itself weighing more than 10 pounds. Unlike a standard tank, its entire dry weight is just over 100 pounds and a two-man team can walk it through a standard doorway in minutes and assemble it on-site in the tightest of locations. Once installed, the base model 350 gallon tank loses less than 2°C/4°F of heat over a 24-hour period, with five times the insulation capability of a conventional tank. It’s suitable for both hot or cold liquids storage, with an operational temperature range from -25°F/-31°C to 200°F / 93°C.
