Introduction to other thermal equipment

Thermal equipment are devices that allow the transfer, generation or storage of thermal energy for different industrial, commercial and residential applications. Beyond conventional systems such as boilers or heat exchangers, there is a broad category called 'other thermal equipment' that brings together a variety of specialized technologies, intended for specific functions within thermal processes.

This equipment is characterized by its diversity in design and purpose, ranging from buffer tanks, thermal cameras, to heat recovery systems and auxiliary thermal generators. Its integration into construction and industrial projects is key to improving energy efficiency and optimizing the use of thermal resources.

Thermal inertia tanks

Thermal inertia tanks are tanks designed to store thermal energy in the form of hot water or thermal fluid, allowing the stabilization and optimization of heat demand and supply in heating or cooling systems. Its main function is to dampen thermal variations, avoiding frequent on and off cycles of heat generating equipment.

These tanks can be simple or with internal exchangers, and their size varies depending on the required capacity. They are commonly used in installations with boilers, heat pumps or solar thermal systems, improving overall efficiency and reducing component wear.

In addition, they facilitate the integration of multiple thermal sources and allow greater operational flexibility in complex systems, contributing to more sustainable energy management.

heat recoverers

Heat recoverers are thermal devices that capture residual heat from processes or exhaust gases to reuse it at other points in the system, reducing energy consumption. Their design can vary from plate exchangers to cross-flow or counter-current systems.
