A collapsible thermal storage tank appropriate for solar systems, addressing the need for large capacity at affordable cost, is provided in a modular design which can be easily transported and assembled. The modular design comprises laminated panels in a construction sandwiching an insulation core between thin metal sheets. The laminated panels, some of which fold walls and floor together for simplified assembly, are joined by an innovative clip and gasket design. The structure is liquid-tight without the need for a liner and surfaces are compatible for potable water. High insulation values of R-25 or greater are featured. The lightweight materials and the clip-together assembly make the tank appropriate for private as well as commercial use. |
