Abstract:
1. A heat storage apparatus, comprising: heat storage panels having primary fluid passages formed therein; passage plates having secondary fluid passages formed therein wherein protrusions are formed on surfaces of the heat storage panels and extending toward the passage plates in such a manner that the heat reservoirs are supported by the protrusions; and heat reservoirs, wherein the heat storage panels and the passage plates are layered alternately, and the heat reservoirs are interposed between the heat storage panels and the passage plates in such a manner that the heat reservoirs, the heat storage panels and the passage plates are adhered to one another, wherein the heat reservoirs include envelope-shaped containers made of thin films, and heat storage media are completely enclosed within the envelope-shaped containers, and wherein the heat reservoirs are configured to absorb heat from primary fluid flowing through the primary fluid passages, store the absorbed heat in the heat storage media, and transfer the stored heat to secondary fluid flowing through the secondary fluid passages.
