What is a thermal store and how does it work?
How a thermal store stores heat from one or more sources and delivers mains-pressure hot water.
Thermal store units offer diverse functions and capabilities. Generally, they play a crucial role in various renewable heating systems within domestic settings. Their primary function is to store excess heat generated by the system. This stored heat is then available when needed. Thermal stores work effectively with many renewable heating technologies. These include solar thermal systems, wind energy water heating, heat pumps, and wood-fuelled biomass boilers. Furthermore, they can store energy from single or multiple sources. It is also possible to integrate thermal stores (opens in a new tab) into conventional heating systems that use boilers or immersion heaters.
