A method for calculating the water intermediary in a multilayer stratified thermal storage tank used in solar heating and hot water supply systems has been developed. The intermediary has a constant cross-section and uniform perforation throughout its height. The examination of global and domestic practices for improving the performance of self-regulating active water heat accumulators in solar heating systems is ongoing. Innovative solutions for self-regulated stratified thermal storage systems are being developed. Conditions for achieving self-equilibrium in the self-regulatory components of hot water storage tanks are being identified, considering dynamic processes caused by unbalanced solar radiation. A theoretical investigation of water flow in perforated distributors with a constant cross-section under the influence of volume forces is being conducted. Additionally, a theoretical analysis of water collection in perforated collectors with constant cross-sections due to volume forces is taking place. A method for calculating water distribution and designing a self-regulating thermal storage system is currently being developed. An experimental exploration of the perforation in the water distribution system of a self-adjusting hot water storage tank is also underway.
