Method for measuring and controlling the state of charge of a latent heat store, and device for carrying out the method

摘要

At least in the temperature range of a phase change of the latent heat storage medium (14), a variable depending on the volume thereof is detected and used for control purposes. A device for carrying out the method has at least one container (12) which is provided for holding the latent heat storage medium (14) and at least one heat exchange area (30) arranged in the region of the latent heat storage medium (14) and/or in the region of at least one medium (16) which is in contact therewith and can be separated therefrom. At least one sensor (58) serves to detect a variable dependent on the volume of the latent heat storage medium (14).
