HEAT-ACCUMULATING CAPSULE Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: heat engineering. SUBSTANCE: heat-accumulating capsule forms hermetic cavity filled with heat-accumulating agent undergoing phase transformation in working temperature range. Cavity is provided with partitions adjoining each other and inner surface of capsule due to elastic force of their material. Maximum distance between partitions is determined by relationship of heat conductivity coefficient, density and phase transformation heat of heat-accumulating agent. Heat-accumulating capsule is resistant to vibrations and ensures effective heat exchanger at accumulation and release of heat. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of heat exchanger. 6 dwg
