<p>A two-layer system (24) for heat energy capture and storage with an upper or lower layer (36) for heat extracting and the other layer (22) for heat transfer. Either layer (22, 36) can function as a phase change material. Heat stored is conducted (32, 34) externally of the system (24) and can be used directly in a converting system, i.e., heat to mechanical or electrical energy or transferred as heat for further applications.</p> |
