PURPOSE:To shorten the time for discharging the latent heat, to make it easy to separate the hot medium from the cooling fluid, and, moreover, to allow the containers to be piled when used by forming a hollow ring-shaped receptacle for seed crystals whose outside diameter is smaller than the inside diameter of the main body of a regenerative container and by making the main body and the receptacle connected and communicate by a hollow ring-shaped passageway. CONSTITUTION:The hollow disk-shaped main body 6 of a regenerative container and a hollow ring-shaped receptacle 7 for seed crystals whose outside diameter is smaller than the main body are concentrically arranged substantially on a common plane and connected by a hollow ring-shaped passageway 8. The main body 6 of the regenerative container is packed with a regenerative material 2. At a part of the regenerative material a receptacle 7 for seed crystals is filled so that, upon cooling, the contents crystallize into seed crystal 4. The regenerative material 2 is in contact with seed crystals 4 at all points along its inner periphery and, when the heat is released, the crystals are allowed to grow by only short distances in the paths of their growth; therefore, the latent heat can be discharged in a short time. The regenerative containers can be joined in a pile by means of short cylindrical supporting rings 9. |
