METHOD OF HIGH-POTENTIAL THERMAL ENERGY ACCUMULATION AND STORAGE Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC F28D20/00 

FIELD: power industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method of high-potential energy accumulation and storage. This method involves alternating loading of heated circulating disperse solid heat carrier by gravity to heat accumulator in the form of heat-insulated vessel. Heated disperse solid heat carrier is removed by gravity via closed chutes from ammunition combustion module group and distributed evenly over the vessel perimeter and cross-section via internal chutes of different radial length matching the number of combustion modules. Ventilation air fed under the chutes is used to burn down admixtures in particles of dispersed solid heat carrier. Discharge of heated solid heat carrier through converging lower part of heat accumulator allows levelling of temperature of outgoing heat carrier supplied to utilities. Cooled circulating disperse solid heat carrier returned from utilities is lifted to feeding tank of ammunition combustion aggregate for distribution over combustion modules.

EFFECT: obtained method of heat accumulation and storage from circulating disperse solid heat carrier flows, stabilised temperature of accumulated heat storage and distribution.
