A storage heater or heat bank (Australia) is an electrical heater which stores thermal energy during the evening, or at night when electricity is available at lower cost, and releases the heat during the day as required. Alternatively, solar storage heaters are designed to store solar energy as heat, to be released during the night or other ...
Dimplex claims to have produced the first electric fireplace with a "realistic" wood-burning flame effect in 1995. [6] It is unclear what specific technique is being referred to, although it may be U.S. patent 5,642,580. In 2008 Dimplex launched the Opti-myst effect which simulates both flames and smoke.

A storage heating system takes advantage of cheaper electricity prices, sold during low demand periods such as overnight. In the United Kingdom, this is branded as Economy 7. The storage heater stores heat in clay bricks, then releases it during the day when required. Newer storage heaters are able to be used with various tariffs.
A hot water storage tank (also called a hot water tank, thermal storage tank, hot water thermal storage unit, heat storage tank, hot water cylinder, and geyser) is a water tank used for storing hot water for space heating or domestic use. Water is a convenient heat storage medium because it has a high specific heat capacity. This means ...
An 80 US gal (300 L; 67 imp gal) electric storage tank water heater was able to have a minimum energy factor of 86% under the pre-2015 standard, while under the 2015 standard, the minimum energy factor for an 80-gallon electric storage tank water heater is now 197%, which is only possible with heat pump technology. This rating measures ...
Built-in small storage water reservoir as part of heat exchanger (typically between 2 US gallons (7.6 L; 1.7 imp gal) to 20 gallons) Dual activation: flow sensing and thermostat control; Hybrid water heaters can be gas-fired (natural gas or propane), or be electrically powered using a combination of heat pump and conventional electric heating ...
The model identification "medallion" of a DECstation 5000 Model 120 DECstation 5000 Model 200 with top cover removed. The DECstation was a brand of computers used by DEC, and refers to three distinct lines of computer systems—the first released in 1978 as a word processing system, and the latter (more widely known) two both released in 1989.
