How does heat accumulator work?
Heat accumulators, more precisely heat pump accumulators, are devices used for the production of domestic water, i.e. water used for personal hygiene and cooking. Since these are devices that are becoming more and more common, let's try to understand how they work and what benefits they can bring. How do heat pump accumulators work? Visually, heat accumulators very closely resemble classic electric water heaters, which are now almost out of use; … Read more
