Abstract
A heat-storage heater which has a function of compensating a time lag between the generation and emission of heat and comprises a device such as a heat exchanger or electric heater supplying heat to a heat-storing material 1 capable of being supercooled, the heat-storing material 1 being filled into a plurality of small containers 2, a device such as a heat exchanger, thermoelectric element, electrodes, or vibrator 3 for releasing the supercooled state of the heat-storing material, and a thermal radiation surface.
Claims14
A heat storage heater comprising means for supplying heat to a heat-storing material capable of being supercooled, the heat-storing material being filled into a plurality of small containers, means for releasing the supercooled state of the heat storing material which is disposed so as to be in contact with a part of each small container through which the supercooled state is released, and a thermal radiation surface.
A heat-storage heater, comprising means for supplying heat to a heat-storing material capable of being supercooled, the heat-storing material, together with a phase-segregation prevention agent, being filled into a plurality of small containers, and a thermal radiation surface, wherein the heat-storing material capable of being supercooled spontaneously starts to be solidified at a predetermined temperature in the supercooled state thereof.
