Connection between multiple buffer storage tanks
Buffer storage tank
Tichelmann connection for higher outputs
For parallel connection with one-sided connection, the
volume of the second buffer is integrated using the
thermosiphon principle. The exchange between the
two tanks is driven only by gravity and limited by the
hydraulic resistance of the junctions. Therefore, a
Tichelmann connection is required for medium
outputs.
With a 6/4" connection, a maximum of 5500 l/h at
0.25 mws pressure loss is possible (for flow and return
connections together). This corresponds to 130 kW at
a spread of 20 °C. Therefore, external piping (either
symmetric or with Tichelmann connection), is needed
for higher outputs.
With more than two tanks, external piping with
Tichelmann connection is also needed to fill and drain
all tanks uniformly.
