HEAT STORAGE DEVICE AND AIR CONDITIONER USING SAME

摘要

The present invention is provided with a heat storage material which is liquid and stores heat from a heat source, a heat storage tank (2) which holds the heat storage material therein, and a heat transfer section (4) which is a wall section for forming the outer shell of the heat storage tank and which transfers heat between the heat source and the heat storage material. The heat storage tank (2) is configured so that the upper end of the heat storage tank (2) is higher than the upper end of the heat transfer section (4), and the configuration enables the capacity of the heat storage material to be increased and at the same time enables the temperature of even the heat storage material which is not in contact with the heat transfer section (4) to be efficiently increased by convection heat transfer.
