Destratification – What is it ?

Destratification – What is it ?   Destratification is the opposite of the natural process of thermal stratification in HVAC systems, which is the layering of different (usually increasing) air temperatures from floor to ceiling. Thermal stratification occurs when heated air rises to the ceiling or roof space or area because it is lighter than […]

Glass Lined Hot Water Storage Tanks

Glass Lined Hot Water Storage Tanks Glass lined hot water storage tanks, also called vitreous enamel lined hot water tanks, are storage tanks or buffers that are normally used for domestic hot water storage(potable water), although the hot water doesn’t have to be of this quality. They are storage tanks manufactured in carbon steel but […]
