PURPOSE:To facilitate transportation, installation and change in capacity, and to improve regenerative and radiant characteristics in a regenerative tank, by disposing in series at least two units housing regenerative material in the flow path of a heating medium, interposed by a detachable connecting part, and by decreasing the number of stacked units as the location of units comes nearer to the outlet side of the heating medium from the inlet side. CONSTITUTION:Two stacked units 13 housing regenerative material are disposed in series in the flow path of a heating medium 14, interposed by a connecting part 15. The number of stacked units 13 housing regenerative material is decreased as the location of units comes nearer to the outlet side 17 of a heating medium 14 from the inlet side 16. The temperature difference is large, but the heat transfer rate is small, between the regenerative body and the heating medium 14, in the neighborhood of the inlet side 16. But in the neighborhood of the outlet side 17, the heat transfer rate is large, although the temperature difference is small, because the flow velocity of the heating medium 14 is large, so that the heat exchange rate is averaged. Heat exchange is performed at the optimum condition between the regenerative material and the heating medium by adjusting the height of a frame 8 and crosspieces 10. Transportation and installation of the tank can be facilitated, as well as to improve the heat exchanging efficiency. Melting and solidifying of latent heat regenerative material can be proceeded in the tank nearly at the same rate. |
