Controlled hot water reservoir

Abstract

The subject of the application is a controlled hot water tank comprising a thermally insulated two-chamber water tank (1), in which there is a rigid, sealed thermally insulating partition (2) movable relative to its walls, which divides the water tank (1) into a first chilled water chamber (A) and a second hot water chamber (B). Outside the water tank (1), the first chilled water chamber (A) is connected to the second hot water chamber (B) via a circulating pump (3) and a water heater (4). A water supply pipe is connected to the first chilled water chamber (A), and a drain pump (5) is connected to the second hot water chamber (B) via a drain pipe. Temperature sensors (6.1, 6.2) are located in the pipe supplying water to the first chilled water chamber (A) and in the pipe draining water from the second hot water chamber (B), which, together with the circulating pump (3) and the drain pump (5), are connected to a controller (7).It is characterized in that the water tank (1) is polyhedron-shaped, in which, in a vertical cross-section, the first side wall (1.1) has the outline of an arc, and the opposing second side wall (1.2) has the outline of a line segment, preferably a straight line. The partition (2) is attached on one side to a hinge (8) with a horizontal axis of rotation, which is mounted on the second side wall (1.2). The discharge pump (5) is connected via a heat exchanger (9) and a water supply pipe to the first chilled water chamber (A). The heat exchanger (9) is connected to a heat transfer medium pump (10), which is connected to a controller (7).
