Abstract
A thermal energy storage system including a thermal energy storage tank and a pair of thermal energy exchange tanks disposed in a different horizontal plane than the thermal energy storage tank. Each of the tanks contain a heat exchange medium and are in fluid communication with each other for circulation of the heat exchange medium between the exchange tanks and the storage tanks by convection. The exchange tanks contain a heat exchange coil which is in fluid communication with a first heat exchanger for heating or cooling the medium in the exchange tank. The storage tank is in fluid communication with a second heat exchanger for the transfer of the heat exchange medium therebetween to heat or cool a structure. The system is disposed beneath the ground adjacent the structure being heated or cooled and an envelope of non-coherent material is disposed about the system to provide a corrosion resistant barrier between the tanks, and the adjacent earth and to act as a conduit for the transfer of thermal energy between the system and the surrounding earth.
