Abstract
The thermal hybrid tank is a multifunctional tank with a shape that makes for easy construction and assembly while maximizing the ability of thermal syphoning. This invention can store an inlet liquid and thermal energy from a heat exchanger, for outlet usage in multiple applications. The tank typically has a pitch coupling front surface and a downward angled front surface which together allows for coupling with the heat exchanger and a roof decking or a solar panel, of which could be a liquid cooled PV solar panel, or a solar focusing panel, or a roof structure.
Claims15
A thermal hybrid tank, an apparatus for heating and containing a liquid by being coupled with a heat exchanger, and the tank having a shape resulting in said heat exchanger and a coupling side being pitched similarly downward and away from a top surface of the tank, the top surface being opposite of a base side, comprising;
- the base side;
- a heat exchanger connection side;
- the coupling side;
- an inlet connection or a plurality of inlet connections;
- an outlet connection or a plurality of outlet connections;
- the inlet connection or the plurality of inlet connections allowing for said liquid to be let into the tank;
- the outlet connection or the plurality of outlet connections allowing for said liquid to be let out for usage and allowing for the connection of said heat exchanger;
- the heat exchanger connection side having the outlet connection or the plurality of outlet connections, as to result in said outlet connection or said plurality of outlet connections for the heat exchanger, being outward and downward of the tank;
- the coupling side having a desired pitch being between, written in the form of rise/run, 2.115/12 and 44.8/12 when in an installed condition;
- said heat exchanger being connected between the outlet connection or the plurality of outlet connections of the heat exchanger connection side and the outlet connection or the plurality of outlet connections of the tank;
- and
- the thermal hybrid tank consisting of a material selected from the group of glass, ceramic, plastic, metal, and any combination thereof.
