Abstract
A heat accumulator device is provided having a metal phase-change material as an accumulator material, the heat accumulator device including at least one a holding chamber having a holding space for the accumulator material, a housing for the holding space, at least one heat input apparatus for inputting heat into the at least one holding chamber, and at least one heat output apparatus for outputting heat from the at least one holding chamber. A coupling region of the heat input apparatus, provided for thermal coupling to the accumulator material, and/or a coupling region of the heat output apparatus, provided for thermal coupling to the accumulator material, is arranged, at least in part, at a distance from the accumulator material.
Claims21
A heat storage device, having a metallic phase change material as the storage material, comprising at least one receptacle chamber having a receptacle space for the storage material and a housing for the receptacle space, at least one heat introduction unit for introducing heat into the at least one receptacle chamber, and at least one heat discharge unit for discharging heat from the at least one receptacle chamber,
- wherein
- a coupling region of the heat introduction unit provided for thermal coupling with the storage material and/or a coupling region of the heat discharge unit provided for thermal coupling with the storage material is arranged spaced apart at least in regions from the storage material.
