New Thermal Tank Lighter in Weight, Heavy on Performance
PowerPanel’s new Gen20 Thermal Tank is a departure from the steel types of tanks commonly used to store hot water. The 350-gallon Thermal Tank is made from lightweight, modular ‘building block’ sections of expanded polypropylene foam.
While much lighter in weight, it provides up to twice the insulation capability at a fraction of the energy storage costs of tanks made from conventional materials. A Gen20 Thermal Tank will lose just a little over 3.6F of heat over a 24-hour period.
The tank is suitable for both hot or cold liquids storage. Since the tank is not pressurized, no pressure vessel certification is required. Multiple tanks can be cascaded together using optional connecting hardware to expand a storage system. Custom tank liners for storing different fluids are available, depending on the needs of the facility.
