Charge/Discharge
Understanding the charging and discharging mechanisms of IsoTES®
Charged Energy
Flexible energy input for diverse applications
IsoTES® is flexible in the form of charged energy: electric power, hot heat, or cold heat.
Electric Power
Direct conversion to thermal energy
Hot Heat
Thermal energy from heat sources
Cold Heat
Cryogenic or cooling energy
Charging Methods
Two methods available: External and Internal charging
External Charging
External heat exchangers convert the input energy into heat or cold and transfer it to the circulated TESM around IsoTES®.
Typical example: HTS-IsoTES®
Internal Charging
Internal devices produce heat or cold inside the tank.
Hybrid-IsoTES®: Uses resistance heaters in each cell to convert electric power into heat.
IU-IsoTES®: Uses internal piping called the heat transfer pipe (HTP), where a working fluid flows and transfers its heat or cold to the TESM.
Discharged Energy
Constant-temperature energy in various forms
IsoTES® produces constant-temperature energy in various forms:
Hot Liquid
Hot Gas
Cold Liquid
Cold Gas
Discharging Methods
Similar to charging: External and Internal discharging
External Discharging
External heat exchangers receive energy from IsoTES® (via the circulated TESM) and transfer it to consumers.
Typical example: HTS-IsoTES®
Internal Discharging
Internal piping, called the heat transfer pipe (HTP), carries a working fluid that receives heat or cold from the TESM.
Typical example: IU-IsoTES®
