Water Storage

Flow

A. Inputs:
1. RO filtered H20 from bio-bed sub-surface
2. distilled H2O from dehumidifier
3. distilled H2O from air well

B. Output: clear H2O via pressure pump through UV sterilizer to HUM


Location

Stored water in the CELSS not only serves to stockpile water as a necessary nutrient for human (and animal consumption). It can also act as
  • an effective thermal mass
  • a heat transfer medium
  • a storage mechanism for potential energy

Thermal mass


Heat transfer medium


Potential Energy

Just as anything else with mass, water's potential energy is a function of the relative height.
