Method for filling a heat storage tank with solid elements

摘要

A method for filling a heat storage tank with solid elements having at least one first particle size and one second particle size, the first particle size being greater than the second particle size, said method comprising the following steps: a) pouring a first quantity of solid elements of the first particle size into the tank, b) levelling said first quantity of solid elements of the first particle size so as to form a layer of a substantially constant height, c) pouring a second given quantity of solid elements of the second particle size over the layer of solid elements of the first particle size such that the solid elements of the second particle size flow between the solid elements of the first particle size and such that the elements of the second particle size are flush with the layer of the solid elements of the first particle size and so as to form an intermediate layer.
