PURPOSE:To make it possible to discharge stored heat by controlling the heat freely while preventing the natural dissipation of heat to the minimum by a method wherein a loop type heat pipe is incorporated into the heating panel. CONSTITUTION:A heat medium 4 heated by a different heat source machine passes through a flow passage 5 in a panel box 3 and heats a heat storage material 7 to make the latter store heat. The thermal energy in the heat storage material 7 transfers to an evaporation section 9 of the loop type heat pipe 16 and an operating liquid 14 vaporizes to become a gas 15. When a valve 12 is opened, the gas 15 reaches a condensed section 10 after passing through a communication passage 13 and the heat generated as a result of condensation of the gas 15 is discharged toward the surface of the panel from a heat discharge plate 1. In case where no heating operation is required, the valve 12 is closed to stop the transfer of heat. As a heat insulating material 11 is present between the evaporation section 9 and the condensing section 10, it is possible to prevent the transfer of heat due to heat conduction. |
