How to store and reuse excess energy from the heating system as efficiently as possible?
SELTRON ZO and ZSO heat storages perform perfectly as excess energy storage in various heating systems with different heat sources such as solid fuel boiler, pellet boiler, fireplace, heat pump or solar system. All SELTRON storage tanks have been equipped with new, more efficient insulation since 2018, which further reduces heat loss and contributes to energy savings. Heat storage designs with an integrated heat exchanger also allow the stored heat energy to be used for instantaneous heating of sanitary water.
Storing excess energy increases the energy-saving performance of the heating system
When sizing a heating appliance, we usually choose a power output that will meet the heating needs even in the most adverse weather conditions. For most of the heating season, 60 % of rated output will already meet the demand, which means less efficient operation for the heating appliance. By connecting the heating plant to a heat storage tank, its operation can be optimised, the excess heat can be stored and later fed to different consumers according to the needs of the heating system.
SELTRON ZO and ZSO storage tanks can be installed in different heating systems with different heat generators such as: boiler, solar system or heat pump. In addition to storing excess heat energy, ZSO storage tanks also allow heating of domestic hot water.
