New technology/device for accumulation of heat in energy systems that in a unique way provides improved effectiveness and reduced energy usage.

Abstract

A SME from North of Sweden has invented a technology/device for accumulation of heat in energy systems that in a unique way provides improved effectiveness and reduced energy usage. The company is seeking partners interested in a joint venture that could use this technology as one part in their concept.

Description

The technology/device will increase effectiveness in an energy system and reduce the use of energy. The base is an accumulatortank that is sectioned, and will efficiently serve end-users with a single source of energy or with multiple source of energy, as e.g. solar cells, heat pumps, wood/pellets burner. The device will optimise the output from the energy system so that always the fluid with highest temperature is available to deliver for heating. This technology limits the impact of different temperatures of the input energy for the end-user. The SME is looking for a joint venture with a partner where this device/technology could constitute one part of a whole energy system to be provided to residential customers with different sources of heating.

Innovative Aspects:
The technology/device will optimise the output from the energy system so that always the fluid with highest temperature is available to deliver for heating. This technology limits the impact of different temperatures of the input energy for the end-user. The technology/device based on a sectioned accumulator tank can in this way equilise if there are different inputs of energy/variation in a single source of energy, and still provide a stable temperature of the delivery of the heating to the end-user.
