Abstract
Provided is a heat storage unit having a simple configuration, capable of being attached to various objects, and capable of efficiently performing heat exchange. The heat storage unit has at least one inorganic fiber member configured by binding or entangling flexible inorganic fibers and having a desired shape; and a heat storage material in contact with the inorganic fibers.
Claims6
A heat storage unit comprising:
- at least one inorganic fiber member configured by binding or entangling inorganic fibers and having a desired shape;
- and
- a heat storage material in contact with the inorganic fibers.
A heat storage unit used in a heat exchange device for adjusting a temperature of an object, wherein
- the heat exchange device further includes:
- a temperature adjustment unit that adjusts a temperature of an object installation portion in which an object is installed;
- a heating medium supply unit that supplies a heating medium having a predetermined temperature to the temperature adjustment unit;
- a first supply flow path that supplies the heating medium from the heating medium supply unit to the temperature adjustment unit;
- a return flow path provided adjacently to the heat storage unit, the return flow path returning the heating medium from the temperature adjustment unit to the heating medium supply unit, the return flow path allowing heat exchange between the heating medium and the heat storage unit;
- a second supply flow path that supplies the heating medium from the heating medium supply unit to the heat storage unit;
- and
- a flow path forming unit that forms either the first supply flow path or the second supply flow path,
- the heat storage unit includes:
- at least one inorganic fiber body configured by binding or entangling inorganic fibers;
- and
- a heat storage material formed in contact with the inorganic fibers,
- when the first supply flow path is formed by the flow path forming unit, a temperature of the heating medium is brought close to the predetermined temperature by heat exchange between the heat storage material and the heating medium, and
- when the second supply flow path is formed by the flow path forming unit, the heat storage material is regenerated by heat exchange between the heat storage material and the heating medium.
