Heat production where it's most efficient – Utilization where it's needed

Heat transport with the HeatTank Intelligent Thermal Battery – Energy use independent of time and location.

In modern energy supply, synchronizing energy production and consumption in both space and time is a key challenge. The HeatTank Intelligent Thermal Battery offers a revolutionary solution precisely to this issue. With its help, thermal energy can be generated where production is most efficient and utilized where it is truly needed – all in a flexible, transportable form.

More than energy storage – strategic flexibility

The HeatTank system enables thermal energy production to occur not at the moment of use, but when it is more optimal from an energy or economic perspective. This means that energy generated by, for example, heat pumps, solar panels, or industrial waste heat recovery can be stored in the thermal battery outside of peak times, with higher efficiency. The stored energy can then be used later – for instance, to heat a building or support a technological process – even if, at that later time, energy production would be less efficient or economical.

Transporting Thermal Energy: Bridging Distances

Another key advantage of HeatTank is that it spatially separates heat generation from heat utilization. Thanks to mobile heat transport units, thermal energy can be delivered to locations where a suitable heat source is not available at the time, whether it’s another building, site, or industrial facility. This is particularly valuable when waste heat is generated during a production process but cannot be utilized on-site. With HeatTank, this valuable energy is not lost, it can be transported to a nearby consumer, such as an office building, residential property, or public institution for heating purposes. In this way, previously wasted energy is transformed into both economic and environmental value.

A key design consideration of the system is to ensure that charging and discharging i.e., connecting and disconnecting, is as simple as possible, allowing the driver to complete the entire process alone.

During the commissioning of the Thermal Battery system, the first step is to establish the electrical connection for operating the control and measurement system, as well as the circulation pump. This is done via an outdoor connection point and appropriate cabling using a standard socket. The system can also be equipped with a battery, which can optionally be charged using solar power.

Next, the flexible hoses must be connected using union fittings (or other quick couplers), a task the driver can perform manually, tightening with a pipe wrench if necessary.

After making the connections, the manual shut-off valves must be opened, the joints checked, and any potential leaks eliminated. Minor water loss is followed by venting and refilling the system, which can be done either automatically or manually.

Finally, the charging or discharging of the Intelligent Thermal Battery is carried out either manually or in an automated manner, until the system is fully charged or discharged, by activating the pumps at the production and consumption sites.

The HeatTank Intelligent Thermal Battery is not just an energy storage device, it is a strategic energy optimization solution that:

• enables the temporal separation of energy production and consumption,

• supports the spatial decoupling of where energy is generated and where it is used,

• facilitates the utilization of waste heat and maximizes energy efficiency.

Thermal energy transport is therefore not merely a technological innovation, it represents the future of energy utilization: more sustainable, more economical, and more flexible than ever before.
