Summary

The results indicate that it may be feasible to increase the cooling capacity of chilled water storage tanks by charging the tanks at temperatures below that of the density maximum of water. For stratification to occur the density of the initial quiescent water within the tank should be less than that of the charge water: the Archimedes number serving as the relevant parameter.
