PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a chemical heat storage device capable of arranging a heater by utilizing a space inside piping effectively.SOLUTION: A chemical heat storage device which heats a heating object in an exhaust system of an engine includes: a heater 11 comprising a plurality of base units 20(20,20,20) arranged inside piping 8 in which an exhaust gas exhausted from the engine flows; a storage for storing a reaction medium; and a connection pipe 13 for circulating the reaction medium between the heater 11 and the storage. The base unit 20 has: a heat generation part having a heat storage medium for performing heat generation by a chemical reaction with the reaction medium and desorption of the reaction medium by heat storage in a reversible manner; and a heat exchange part for performing heat exchange between the heat generation part and the heating object. The plurality of base units 20 are arranged according to the shape of the piping 8.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 |
