Abstract

PURPOSE:To release a heat-storage material from a supercooled state easily without opening the sealed container in which the heat-storage material is sealed. CONSTITUTION:A Peltier element 4 connected to a heat dissipation fin 5 on one end and connected to a heat-conductive member on the other end is provided outside a container 2 in which a heat-storage material 1 and an electrical heater 3 are sealed, and the heat-conductive agent 6 and the Peltier element 4 are covered with an insulation material 10. After the heat-storage material 1 is liquefied by applying a current to the heater 3, the heating is stopped by switching off a power source 8 of the heater, and the heat-storage material 1 is cooled to the ambient temperature below its melting point to bring it into a supercooled state in which it is kept in a liquid state. The side of the heat dissipation fin 5 of the Peltier element is heated by applying a direct current to the terminals 7 of the element 4, and the heat-conductive material 6 is allowed to absorb heat. The heat-storage material 1 further cooled through the part in contact with the tip small-area part of the heat conductive member 6 to lower its temperature to -10 to -12 deg.C to condense it at this part, and its temperature is quickly raised from this area or near to gradually release it from a supercooled state.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, heat storage agents that utilize the latent heat of a phase change diameter are known as heat storage agents that store heat and take it out again. This type of heat storage agent has a large amount of latent heat storage, and is usually made of a hydrated salt such as sodium acetate trihydrate or sodium sulfate decahydrate, and a carrier for this hydrated salt such as xanthan gum, which has a suitable usage temperature range.
Those made of hydrophilic polysaccharides such as guar gum and locust bean gum, or thickening agents such as starch and polyacrylic acid are known, and are heated above the melting point (transition temperature) of the heat storage agent stored in an insulated container. After absorbing heat, it is cooled to a temperature below the melting point and stored in a liquid phase without releasing sensible heat.
