Cold water storage tanks and how they work
Cold Water Tank. The cold water tank in a vented cold water system stores the large volume of water to supply the hot and cold water systems that are not directly fed by the rising main. The water level within the tank is controlled by a float operated valve which is set to allow water to enter when the water level drops below the required level.

Aprende másStoring Solar Energy in Water with Pumped Hydro Storage
Pumped hydro storage is a well-tested, mature technology capable of releasing large, sustained amounts of energy through water pumping. The process requires two reservoirs of water, one at a low elevation, and the other at a higher elevation. Once connected, low cost electricity (like solar) is used to pump the water from below to above.
