A fluid inlet to a stratified thermal heat store is designed retain a heated fluid such as water with strata or layers at different temperatures. Ideally any injected heated water to replace out flows from a thermal store defining the heat store should be injected at the strata or layer at or close to the temperature of the injected fluid. A common fluid at a common temperature will have the same density so by providing a flexible sleeve with an outlet which can ‘float’ such that the mean density of the unsupported flexible sleeve with injected fluid flowing through it is substantially with the same as the density of the strata of the fluid in the thermal store at the level where the outlet ‘floats’ then the inflow will be injected at the correct temperature strata with little turbulence. |
