Thermal Battery Storage-Source Heat Pump System
Overview
Making reliable electrified heating possible in cold climates.
An innovative, all-electric hydronic heating solution that reduces carbon emissions, performs efficiently in cold climates, fits within urban space constraints, and reliably heats and cools buildings using thermal energy storage.
-
Reliable Operation
Buildings in colder regions can electrify heating without hesitation. Storage-Source Heat Pump systems provide consistent electrified heating in climates where air-to-water heat pump have limited heating capacity in cold ambient conditions.
-
Urban Scaled
Limited rooftop space for air-to-water heat pumps or lack of room for geothermal systems are no problem. Thermal energy storage and heat pump chillers offer solutions that work within urban constraints.
-
Cost-Effective
The flexibility of storing energy for later use can help reduce heat pump size, system first costs and reduce annual cost of electricity.

FAQs
Your questions about thermal battery storage-source heat pump systems, answered.
Trane’s Thermal Battery Storage-Source Heat Pump System (SSHP) is an innovative electrified heating solution that helps reduce carbon emissions even in cold climates.
A storage-source heat pump system reclaims and stores existing heat. It can reclaim excess building heat and collect heat from the outdoor air to immediately heat the building or store it for tomorrow’s heating.
Energy to heat your building can come from a variety of heat sources that build up during the day:
- Solar energy collected through curtain walls
- Internal heat gains such as computers and people working in the core of building
- Heat from waste and domestic hot water can be reclaimed
All-electric heat pumps chillers recover and recycle heat in the building to support air-to-water heat pumps. When there is no more heat to recover, thermal energy storage can make up the difference. Thermal energy storage provides a source of heat when conditions are not favorable for air-source heat pump operation, such as extreme cold climate and defrost cycles.
