Abstract
A latent heat storage window includes a plurality of cells, an operation mechanism, and a magnetic material. The plurality of cells are formed by encapsulating a latent heat storage material including two or more components. The operation mechanism can be operated by a user. The magnetic material causes a specific component of the two or more components included in the latent heat storage material to be unevenly distributed when the operation mechanism is operated.
Claims8
a latent heat storage building element comprising:
- a cell array plate material including a plurality of cells that late a latent heat storage material including two or more components, one of the two or more components having magnetism and being dispersed in the latent heat storage material;
- an operation unit operable by a user;
- and an uneven distribution unit including a magnetic material configured to be switched between a first state and a second state, the first state being a state in which the magnetic material is relatively close to the latent heat storage material, and in which the magnetic material dispersed in the latent heat storage material is unevenly distributed in the latent heat storage material, the second state being a state in which the magnetic material is relatively far from the latent heat storage material, wherein the uneven distribution unit is configured to be switched between the first and second states when an operation is performed on the operation unit, the operation causing the cell array plate material to perform at least a half rotation in a vertical direction.
