Conserving Off-Peak Heating Load Via A Thermal Storage Loop

Take advantage of off-peak heating capacity with a thermal storage loop isolated by a Tranter SUPERCHANGER® Plate And Frame Heat Exchanger.

Challenge

Capture heat energy during times of reduced load for use later.

Solution

Install a storage or accumulator tank.
Install Tranter SUPERCHANGER Plate And Frame Heat Exchangers in isolation loops using the accumulated steam and at the same time protecting the primary heat transfer equipment.

A Tranter SUPERCHANGER® Plate And Frame Heat Exchanger can form an isolation loop serving thermal storage energy to distributed heating systems across campus.

Results

Efficient use of accumulated steam.
Maximum utilization–SUPERCHANGER Plate And Frame exchangers can handle temperature approaches of less than 1°C (2°F), with “U” or “K “ values 3 to 6 times higher than shell and tube exchangers.
