PURPOSE:To improve the heat accumulating efficiency of a heat accumulating member by a method wherein the heat accumulating member is formed of a capsule made of a metallic mesh and filled with an inorganic salt. CONSTITUTION:When a heat medium is circulated through a heating pipe 6, methanol 7 in a storage tank 8 is heated to vaporize and the vaporized methanol is supplied to a heat accumulation tank 4 through a communication pipe 10. In this case, the vaporized methanol passes among, and diffused into, a plurality of the heat accumulating members 1 in the tank 4 through the meshes of the heat accumulating members and adsorbed by the surface of calcium chloride filled into the members 1 to thereby generate heat. The heat thus generated is then transferred to a heat transfer pipe 5 through which water circulates. As the capsule forming each of the heat accumulating members 1 is made of the metallic mesh, it excels in heat transfer property so that the heat exchange between the capsule and the calcium chloride filled therein is promoted. Further, as the methanol passes among the capsules and among the meshes of the capsules, it is diffused speedily and the adsorption and separation of the methanol are made uniformly and quickly over the entire surface of the calcium chloride filled into the capsules. |
