Claims17
A heat distribution system, comprising:
- an unpressurized tank configured for holding a heat transfer fluid;
- and
- one or more submersible heat transfer fluid pumps configured to pump the heat transfer fluid to one or more heat load loops respectively connected to the one or more heat transfer fluid pumps,
- wherein the unpressurized tank is partitioned to have a first section for receiving return flow of the heat transfer fluid from the one or more heat load loops, and a second section for transferring the return flow of the heat transfer fluid to the one or more heat transfer fluid pumps.
A method for heat distribution, comprising:
- holding in an unpressurized tank a heat transfer fluid;
- and
- pumping with one or more submersible heat transfer fluid pumps the heat transfer fluid to one or more heat load loops respectively connected to the one or more heat transfer fluid pumps,
- wherein the unpressurized tank is partitioned to have a first section for receiving return flow of the heat transfer fluid from the one or more heat load loops, and a second section for transferring the return flow of the heat transfer fluid to the one or more heat transfer fluid pumps.
A computer program product for heat distribution and including one or more computer readable instructions embedded on a tangible, non-transitory computer readable medium and configured to cause one or more computer processors to perform the steps of:
- holding in an unpressurized tank a heat transfer fluid;
- and
- pumping with one or more submersible heat transfer fluid pumps the heat transfer fluid to one or more heat load loops respectively connected to the one or more heat transfer fluid pumps,
- wherein the unpressurized tank is partitioned to have a first section for receiving return flow of the heat transfer fluid from the one or more heat load loops, and a second section for transferring the return flow of the heat transfer fluid to the one or more heat transfer fluid pumps.
