title = "Discharge experiments in a vertical storage tank with an immersed baffled heat exchanger",
abstract = "A number of solar domestic hot water systems and many European combined space and water heating systems have heat exchangers placed directly in the storage fluid to charge and/or discharge the tank. Operation of the heat exchanger produces a buoyancy-driven flow within the storage fluid. With a view toward controlling the flow field to increase heat transfer, a cylindrical baffle was designed for an immersed coiled tube heat exchanger in a vertical storage tank. Measurement of heat transfer and thermal stratification are presented during discharge of the stored energy. Data with and without the baffle are compared. The baffle provides about a ten percent gain in the rate of energy extraction.",
