What is storage tank stratification?

Stratification is the process of arranging the different elements classification in a specific manner.

In the storage tank, hot water and cold water create a specific layer and coexist between them for the process of stratification. Thermal storage and heat storage exchanger are the types of storage tank, in which the stratification process take place.

The density of the cold water is more as compared to hot water. Then, due to this the cold water sink to the bottom and hot ware rises up in the storage vessel. In this way, the water gets heated and the stratification process take place in the tank.
