Huoneenlämpövarasto
Huoneenlämpövarasto refers to a thermal energy storage system designed to operate at typical indoor temperatures. These systems are typically used to store heat generated from sources like solar collectors, waste heat, or even off-peak electricity, and then release it when needed to maintain comfortable room temperatures. The concept focuses on storing thermal energy in materials that can effectively absorb and release heat within a relatively narrow temperature range, usually between 15 and 30 degrees Celsius.
Commonly employed storage materials include water, phase change materials (PCMs), and sometimes solid materials like concrete
The primary goal of a huoneenlämpövarasto is to decouple heat generation from heat demand. This allows for
