PURPOSE:To fabricate latent-heat thermal accumulator type heat exchangers having easily adjustable heat-exchange capacity, by providing fluid passage between laminated holders in which latent-heat type thermal accumulating material is encased. CONSTITUTION:Thermal accumulating material is filled through an intake 15 into a flat, hollow holder 10 which is formed by two rectangular plates 13. A fluid passage 12 is formed on the surface of the holder 10. The holders 10 are assembled into laminated structure with packings 18 interlaid so that fluid passages 12 are formed between the holders respectively. Heating fluid inputted through a liquid port 16 comes out of a liquid port 17 through a fluid passage 12 to effect heat exchange, and thermal accumulating material is then liquefied. In such a setup, a holder 10 functions as an individual unit so that adjustment of heat-exchange capacity can easily be made by varying freely numbers and spacing of the holder units 10, whereby flexibility of applicatins of the heat exchangers can be increased. |
