Abstract
Climate change adaptation measures aredemanding the use of technologies that promote energy saving.The search for thermal comfort has encouraged the use oftechnologies such as the TES tank (Tank Energy System). Thisarticle presents the validation of the results obtained in the CFDsimulation of a TES tank, through an evaluation of the model at1/25 scale, to corroborate the thermal resistance of the tankwhit thermal conductivity of 1.63 W/m. °K and expandedpolystyrene with thermal conductivity of 0.036 W/m°K for boththe walls and the lid. The circular TES tank designedguarantees, in addition to adequate thermal resistance,impermeability and durability so that it can function correctlyduring temperature measurements. In the model, the thermalresistance of the tank was corroborated, by obtaining anincrease in the temperature of the temperature of the water in 8hours of 7 °C (12.6 °F). That is, from 5.9 °C (42.62 °F) to 12.9 °C(55.22 °F), which does not exceed 15 °C (59 °F), therecommended value for its viability.
