摘要： A thermal energy storage system comprising a working fluid to store and transfer thermal energy between a heat source and a thermal load and a vessel to store the working fluid. The vessel has an interior region and a floating separator piston in the interior region to separate a hot portion from a cold portion of the working fluid. There is a first manifold thermally coupled to an output of the heat source and to an input of the thermal load and fluidly coupled to the interior region of the vessel and a second manifold thermally coupled to an input of the heat source and an output of the thermal load and fluidly coupled to the interior region of the vessel. There is a controller configured to maintain the working fluid in a liquid state.

摘要： A floating piston configured to be disposed in a vessel of a thermal energy storage system to separate a hot working fluid from a cold working fluid. The floating piston includes a piston body having a first end, a second end, and a central region. There is a compressible member which is disposed in the central region of the piston and which is configured to engage with an inner surface of the vessel when the piston is disposed in the vessel.
