Method for the controlled heating of a liquid reservoir by a heat source of varying temperature wherein the heat from the heat source is fed through a heat carrier circuit to the reservoir into a region of a heating zone thereof which extends over part of the height of the reservoir and through which the heat carrier flows from the top to the bottom thereof, so that when heated stored liquid is withdrawn from the reservoir, colder liquid flows after it into the lower part of the reservoir, which comprises measuring and comparing the temperature of the heat carrier heated in the heat source and the temperature of the stored liquid in the region of the upper part of the heating zone, and initiating circulation of the heat carrier through the circuit only when the measured temperature of the heated heat carrier exceeds a temperature selected from the group of temperatures consisting of the measured temperature of the stored liquid and a pre-set limit temperature; and storage system for carrying out the foregoing method. |
