Lock-Temp

Storage Tanks

Lochinvar Lock-Temp Tanks have been specifically designed

and engineered to provide a high volume supply of hot water

at a constant outlet temperature. The unique Lock-Temp baffle

chamber design is so efficient that, regardless of the rate of

hot water flow, 80% of the stored volume of hot water can be

drawn from the storage tank without a drop in the pre-set outlet

temperature.

Since 1/3 less hot water storage is required with Lock-Temp

Storage Tanks than with ordinary storage tanks, there are several

important economic features to consider: Lower Standby

Losses, Smaller Footprint Required, Lower Installed Cost,

Reduce Water Heater Operation Cost.

In operation, Lock-Temp Storage Tanks utilize a unique

water baffle chamber to eliminate turbulence and establish a

positive, piston-like displacement system. Cold water entering

the system is directed into the built-in baffle chamber, where

water turbulence is eliminated. Eliminating turbulence allows

natural physical properties to force hot water to the top of the tank

and cold water to the bottom. The resulting effect creates nearly

perfect stratification allowing the hot water to be drawn from the

tank first.

The Lock-Temp system makes Lochinvar Storage Tanks more

efficient. Consider that a typical storage tank delivers only about

60% of its stored water volume at the desired temperature while

Lochinvar tanks with the Lock-Temp baffle deliver a minimum

of 80%. This efficiency allows for more economical sizing of

storage tanks. A design calling for 400 gallons of 180ºF water

would require a 670 gallon standard tank while a Lock-Temp tank

would deliver the same 180ºF volume using only a 500 gallon

tank. A 170 gallon savings.

In conventional storage tanks, water circulation or a

heavy draw of hot water from the top of the tank causes

an incoming rush of cold water, creating turbulence

in the tank’s stored water supply. The result is

inter-mixed hot and cold water that requires constant

adjustment at the fixtures to maintain the desired

temperature. Lochinvar Lock-Temp Storage Tanks

eliminate these problems with a unique inner chamber

baffle that absorbs and flattens turbulence caused by

incoming water. The Lock-Temp baffle also permits

hot and cold water to stratify, directing the hottest

water to the top of the tank and the colder water to the

bottom for return to the heater.

Glass-Lined, Jacketed & Insulated

or Bare ASME Tanks

An ordinary 180 gallon tank

and a 180 gallon Lock-Temp

tank were compared at a set

water temperature of 180ºF.

Water was withdrawn at a rate

of 12 GPM under controlled

conditions. The Lock-Temp tank

provided 141 gallons of water at

set point and the conventional

tank only provided 30 gallons

of water at set point before the

delivery temperature dropped

below 180°F

Glass-Lined Tank Tank Outstanding Features Lochinvar’s glass lining is a specially formulated vitreous porcelain enamel lining, which is applied to all interior surfaces of the tank. After the tank surfaces are cleaned to a white metal finish, an automated spraying process applies a uniform glass lining. The lining is continuously monitored for thickness and continuity.
