Definitions
- a significant problem with solar energy development is the cyclical nature of the energy collection due to day and night cycles, and the variability in the amount of energy collected due to cloud cover. For most practical uses it is necessary to have a steady supply of energy. Some uses, for example electrical power consumption, are also themselves cyclical in nature, with peak demand often twice the minimum demand.
- FIG. 10 is a schematic view of a heat consumer for connection to the thermal storage system of FIG. 1 , where the heat output conduit circuit is connected to an input loop of a heat exchanger, and the output loop of the heat exchanger is connected to a boiler
- a heat output system is operative to transfer heat from the earth material 5 in the storage container 3 to an external heat consumer 21 , such as a boiler or like apparatus that will utilize the heat energy.
- an external heat consumer 21 such as a boiler or like apparatus that will utilize the heat energy.
- the heat is drawn out of the earth material also primarily by radiation. While the earth material 5 is a poor conductor, it is also very cheaply available in the very large quantities contemplated as necessary for electric power generation or like large scale uses, and in the system 1 of the present invention using the high temperature input liquid 9 , an economical storage system for heat energy is provided, and available to be drawn out for various uses.
