Figure 30. Fluid and filler temperature at the axial locations of i=1 (top of the tank), i=50 (25% down the tank), i=100 (50% down the tank), i=150 (75% down the tank), and i=200 (bottom of the tank). 4.4 Insulation Thickness Assuming an infinitely wide tank, perfect insulation, or ambient temperatures equivalent to thermocline tank temperatures, heat loss through the walls of the tank would not be a concern. Unfortunately, such conditions do not exist, and heat losses are a constant battle in thermal storage units. They are of even higher consequence in structures that present high relative surface area compared to internal volume. Therefore, the determination of insulation thickness is a trade-off between price, physical space to place the insulation, and heat losses. As an example, due to space constraints, the INL Thermal Energy Distribution System (TEDS) experimental facility includes a thermocline unit that has a large surface area relative to its volume, alongside a large temperature difference between the internal fluid and ambient surroundings. To decide on relative heat losses that were acceptable, a simulation of temperature drop-off over a 2-day period of inactivity, such as over a weekend, was conducted. Results are presented in Figure 31. 26PDF Image | Thermal Energy Storage Model Development
