Thermal Energy Storage Tanks
Wessels TES Thermal Energy Storage Tanks are designed to store thermal energy for cooling data centers, renewable energy applications, loss of power, or delivery during off-peak hours. The tanks feature dual inner-screen WesPro Super Baffle Systems to stratify and reduce the thermal mixing zone (thermocline), increasing the delivery efficiency of hot or chilled water.
Low water volume systems require additional “buffer energy” capacity to eliminate problems such as excessive equipment cycling, poor temperature control, and erratic system operation. The TES Tank adds the necessary volume to “buffer” the system volume.
