| 摘要 |
<p>This invention relates to a method for accumulating heat energy and accumulators for use as hot water supply and/or heating in buildings. The method comprises collecting heat energy from one or more energy sources, transferring the collected heat from each energy source to a corresponding energy carrying fluid, transporting the collected heat by use of the one or more energy carrying fluids to an accumulator vessel containing a thermal layered accumulator liquid at one or more temperature levels, transferring the collected heat energy to the accumulator liquid by heat exchanging each of the one or more energy carrying fluids with accumulator liquid at the thermal layer with a moderately lower temperature than the energy carrying fluid's temperature, and when supplying accumulated heat energy to the user: heat exchanging heated accumulator liquid with an energy carrier that transfers the heat energy to the user in the form of hot tap water and/or liquid borne heating. The accumulator comprises means for collecting heat energy from one or more energy sources, means for forming at least one energy collection fluid circuit for each energy source, means for transferring the collected heat from each energy source to the energy carrying fluid in the corresponding energy collection circuit(s), an accumulator vessel with a thermal layered accumulator liquid, means for heat exchange the one or more energy carrying fluids of the collector circuit accumulator liquid at the thermal layer with a moderately lower temperature than the energy carrying fluid, and means for extracting hot accumulator liquid from the accumulator vessel, heat exchanging it with one or more user energy carrying liquids, and injecting the heat exchanged accumulator fluid into the accumulator vessel into a thermal layer with more or less the same temperature as the heat exchanged accumulator liquid.
