The invention relates to a jet disturber positioned in front of a water inlet (1) in a hot water storage tank (2). It is made up of a box (3) that is short in height and that the water (4) enters. One or more vortices (10) of vertical axis is or are therefore formed, making it possible to dissipate the kinetic energy of the water before it enters the tank (2). One or more openings (8, 9, 19) of a size greater than the cross section of the inlet tube (1) are made in at least one of the horizontal surfaces (6, 7) delimiting the box (3), at the middle of this surface and therefore of the vortex in the case of the figure associated with the abstract. The vortex dissipates the kinetic energy of the water, the large size of the openings (8, 9, 19) and the low pressure obtaining therein allow the water to arrive in the tank (2) at low speed. The jet disturber according to the invention thus makes it possible to avoid the water that may be hotter or colder than that of the tank (2) mixing with the water contained therein and thus encourages stratification. The jet disturber according to the invention is particularly intended to be fitted to the water inlets to domestic hot water tanks and the water inlets in tanks with which certain heating systems are fitted. |
