Product Description; Function - Latento XP Series Mounting Instruction

3. Product description

The LATENTO XP is an unpressurised buffer storage tank that was developed for
employment in a one-/two-family house. Apartment houses (multi-family houses)
can be supplied via several LATENTO XP Tichelmann-system connected units.
The LATENTO XP is able to buffer useful warm water energy. The insulation of the
storage tank has been designed such that the accumulated energy can be stored
over several days. Depending on power demand, this also allows supply over
night without auxiliary heating requirement through the central-heating boiler.
Latent material
The LATENTO XP will be operated with latent material. The latent material melts at
a temperature of approx. 65 °C. While doing so, it absorbs heat energy without
the temperature changing in the storage tank at all. So energy can be stored with-
out major heat losses – as it is the case at a temperature rise, for instance. When
the storage tank cools below 65 °C, the latent material will resolidify dissipating
the stored energy to the storage water using the heat conducting plate. Moreover,
the latent material prevents evaporation of the storage water. This will minimize
losses of water and energy. The latent material does not pose any health hazard.
Disposal via normal domestic waste possible.

4. Function

The LATENTO XP was developed due to the growing regenerative energy
generation, e.g. solid material boilers.
Non-utilized power of the heat generator which is not needed for heat flow of the
building is buffered in the LATENTO XP and transmitted to the system if required.
Recharging is possible from an existing LATENTO XXL into the LATENTO XP in case
of higher solar yield.
