1. Heat or cold exchanger and storage device operable according to the melting latent-heat effect, which comprises a container (10) in which elementary containers (34), having a spherical shape and filled with a heat and/or cold storage medium capable of generating a considerable quantity of heat when melting, are stocked, an air pocket being maintained in said elementary containers, characterized in that said main container (10) is cylindrical for improving the self-stocking of the spherical containers, and in that each elementary container consists of a pair of assembled semi-spherical elements (45-45') providing a gap (46) therebetween for permitting the circulation of the heat carrier medium, and is formed of a deformable material capable of absorbing volumetric variations resulting from crystallisation. |
