Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A thermal energy storage device is provided. The device has a heat exchanger arrangement for guiding a flow of a heat transfer medium between a first end and a second end of the heat exchanger arrangement, and a heat storage material surrounding the heat exchanger arrangement. The heat exchanger arrangement transports the heat transfer medium from the first end to the second end if the thermal energy storage device is in a first operational mode, in which the heat storage material is supposed to receive thermal energy from the heat transfer medium, and transports the heat transfer medium from the second end to the first end if the thermal energy storage device is in a second operational mode, in which the heat storage material is supposed to release thermal energy to the heat transfer medium.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A thermal energy storage device, comprising: a heat exchanger arrangement comprising: a first end and a second end a first heat exchange section being associated with the first end, a second heat exchange section being associated with the second end, a first connecting section connecting the first heat exchange section with the second heat exchange section, and a second connecting section connecting the first heat exchange section with the sec…
