The invention relates to a process system (1, 60, 100, 130, 160, 180, 190) comprising heat stores (3,4,30,61,61a-61d,62,62a-62d,110,163-165,181-183, 195-198), which are designed to store heat between an upper (To) and a lower temperature (Tu) and to discharge the same again, and comprising a conduit arrangement (L) for the transport of heat-transporting medium to the heat stores (3,4,30,61,61a-61d,62,62a-62d,110,163-165,181-183, 195-198) and away from the latter again, wherein a plurality of operable process units (2,63,63a-63d,161-162, 184-185,191-193) are provided between the upper (To) and the lower temperature (T(u) and are each arranged such that the process units are capable of operation between two heat stores (3,4,30,61,61a-61d,62,62a-62d,110,163-165,181-183, 195-198), through the conduit arrangement (L). This results in a reduced outlay for the production of the process system.
A process system comprising heat storages, which are designed to storage heat between an upper (TO) and a lower temperature (TU) and to discharge the same again, and comprising a conduit arrangement (L) for the transport of heat transporting medium to the heat storages and away from them again, characterized in that a plurality of process units that are operable between the upper (TO) and a lower temperature (TU) are provided, and are each operatively arranged between two heat storages through the conduit arrangement (L).
A method for cyclically heating and cooling a plurality of process units which are operable between an upper (TO) and a lower temperature (TU), characterized in that at least two process units are heated and cooled again with a phase shift between them, wherein the process units are each heated from a heat storage assigned to them, and heat that is emitted from them during cooling is transferred to a heat storage assigned to them.
