Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A heat storage capsule 10 includes a heat storage material 20 reversibly changing into a hydrate of a salt and an aqueous solution of the salt and also includes a capsule coating 22 encapsulating the heat storage material 20. The capsule coating 22 includes an inner sub-coating 24 and an outer sub-coating 26. The inner sub-coating 24 is a hydrogenated oil layer. The outer sub-coating 26 is made of a hydrophilic gel. The heat storage capsule 10 has a W/O/W three-layer structure.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A heat storage member comprising: a container; a double-network gel or a nano-composite gel filled in the container; and a plurality of heat storage capsules which are dispersed in the double-network gel or the nano-composite gel and which each include a heat storage material reversibly changing into a hydrate of a salt and an aqueous solution of the salt and a capsule coating encapsulating the heat storage material; wherein the double-network gel includes an interpenetrating polymer network structure in which network structures made of different materials are physically intertwined with each other, the nano-composite gel is defined by a polymer cross-linked with inorganic nanoparticles, the capsule coating includes an inner sub-coating covering the heat storage material and an outer sub-coating covering the inner sub-coating, the inner sub-coating is a hydrogenated oil layer and the outer sub-coating is made of a calcium alginate gel. 2. A heat storage member comprising: a container; a double-network gel or a nano-composite gel filled in the container; and a plurality of heat storage capsules which are dispersed in the double-network gel or the nano-composite gel and which each include a heat storage material reversibly changing into a hydrate of a salt and an aqueous solution of the salt and a capsule coating encapsulating the heat storage material; wherein the double-network gel includes an interpenetrating polymer network structure in which network structures made of different materials are physically intertwined with each other, the nano-composite gel is defined by a polymer cross-linked with inorganic nanoparticles, the capsule coating includes an inner sub-coating covering the heat storage material and an outer sub-coating covering the inner sub-coating, the inner sub-coating is made of a double-network gel. 3. A heat storage member comprising: a container; a double-network gel or nano-composite gel filled in the container; and a plurality of heat storage capsules which are dispersed in the double-network gel or the nano-composite gel and which each include a heat storage material reversibly changing into a hydrate of a salt and an aqueous solution of the salt and a capsule coating encapsulating the heat storage material; wherein the double-network gel includes an interpenetrating polymer network structure in which network structures made of different materials are physically intertwined with each other, the nano-composite gel is defined by a polymer cross-linked with inorganic nanoparticles, the capsule coating includes an inner sub-coating covering the heat storage material and an outer sub-coating covering the inner sub-coating, the outer sub-coating is made of a nano-composite gel.
