<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a heat storage and release device, which is excellent in heat storage performance by performing heat storage by use of the whole latent heat storage material of the heat storage and release device while effectively making the latent heat storage material function on the downstream side. <P>SOLUTION: The heat storage and release device 10 includes a plurality of heat storage bodies 12 having the latent heat storage material sealed therein, and performs heat storage and heat release by use of the latent heat of the latent heat storage material. The heat storage bodies 12 are disposed within a heat storage chamber 16, for example, in a state where they are vertically mounted while being laminated in a thickness direction with an air passage 30 being formed therebetween, and further stacked vertically in a plurality of layers. In the heat storage and release device 10, the ratioαof the surface area to the internal volume of the heat storage body on the downstream side is set to be larger thanαof the heat storage body on the upstream side. Accordingly, not only the latent heat storage material on the surface portion but also the whole of the latent heat storage material can be used to store heat also on the downstream side where the heat storage rate to the latent heat storage material is reduced. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT</p> |
