(b) Conventional technology In the past, heat storage tanks that have been put into practical use and are widely used have used water as a heat storage medium, so there is no need to consider the effects of the heat storage medium on the container materials that make up the heat storage tank, such as corrosion. There wasn't much. However, when a heat storage medium that utilizes latent heat is used as a heat storage medium, practical-level latent heat storage materials such as sulfates, nitrates,
Hydrates such as phosphates, carbonates, and acetates often have poor coexistence with metals, so it is necessary to prevent corrosion due to direct contact with containers. Furthermore, when the heat storage material is mixed with water, no phase change occurs and it no longer functions as a latent heat storage material.

In the lower part of the heat storage tank 1, a heat storage heat exchanger 6 of a circulation path 19 for giving heat to the sensible heat storage heat medium 3 is installed. Medium 2 flows. Further, as the sensible heat storage heat medium 3, a material having a large amount of sensible heat and a large specific heat, such as water, is used. In addition, the latent heat storage heat medium 4 is
For example, it is made of sodium acetate trihydrate and is filled in the enclosing container 7 made of polyethylene (or polypropylene). The vapor space 5 is formed in the upper part of the heat storage tank 1, a heat medium vapor outlet 8 is formed in the upper end of the heat storage tank 1, and a hollow heat pipe 9 is flare-bonded to the outlet 8 and hermetically sealed. They are connected via a coupler 10. A water supply pipe 11 is fitted onto the tip condensing section 9a of the heat pipe 9, and the water supply pipe 11 and the condensing section 9a constitute a hot water supply heat exchanger 12. In addition, in the figure, 13 is a water supply port, and 14 is a tap water outlet. Further, an electrode 20 as a conductivity sensor is attached to the side surface of the heat storage tank at a position where it is immersed in the heat storage heat medium 3, and a control section 21, which also serves as a current supply means, is electrically connected to this electrode. In addition, a heat insulating material 15 is wrapped around the outer peripheral wall of the heat storage tank 1. The heat storage unit 1 is controlled by the pipe 9, the electrode 20, and the control section 21.
6 are configured. In addition, 17 is a heat collector, 22
is a circulation pump. Further, 18 is an alarm for the control unit 23. In the above configuration,
Heat is first transferred to the sensible heat storage medium 3 by the heat exchanger 3 piped to the heat collector 17 . The heat stored in the sensible heat storage heat medium 3 is converted into sensible heat of the latent heat storage heat medium 4 until the phase change temperature of the latent heat storage heat medium 4.
Also, heat is stored as latent heat at the phase change temperature. The steam space 5 is provided with a sensible heat storage heat medium 3 in advance in the heat storage tank 1.
This is the saturated vapor space of the sensible heat storage heat medium 3, which is obtained by evacuating the entire system and enclosing a certain amount of the sensible heat storage heat medium 3 before transporting the system, and the pressure of the heat medium vapor 3A is normally equal to that of the heat storage. According to the internal pressure of tank 1. Heat is transferred from the heat pipe 9 to the condensing section 9a by the saturated heat medium vapor 3A, and the saturated vapor 3A condenses and imparts latent heat to the water in the water supply pipe.
Transports heat. On the other hand, the heat medium vapor 3A that has condensed into a liquid returns to the heat storage tank 1 as a liquid stream.
Further, in the steam space 5, the pressure in the condensing part 9a sends the steam 3a toward the coupling pipe 10, and the shortage is filled by the sensible heat-latent heat phase change of the sensible heat storage heat medium 3. The heat taken here is the latent heat storage heat medium 4
This is compensated for by the amount of heat stored in the Although this is a heat storage device that stores heat as described above, if the enclosure 7 filled with the latent heat storage heat medium 4 is torn for some reason and the latent heat storage heat medium 4 is eluted into the sensible heat storage heat medium 3, , the effect as a latent heat storage agent is lost, and the characteristic of the latent heat storage material that it can store a large amount of heat per unit volume is lost.

If the latent heat storage heat medium 4 is eluted from the enclosure 7 for some reason, the electrical conductivity of the sensible heat storage heat medium 3 is usually 1000 μs/cm or less, but the latent heat storage heat medium 4 is an electrolyte. 4 dissolves, it becomes 1000 μs/cm or more. This phenomenon can be detected as a voltage fluctuation (decrease) inside the control section 21 by applying a voltage to the electrode 20. If the detected conductivity value eventually becomes higher than the value (set value: 1000 μs/cm) stored in the control unit 21 as an allowable value for leakage, the control unit 21 determines that the latent heat storage heat medium 4 has eluted and the external The activation signal is output to an alarm device 18 such as an indicator lamp or a buzzer to issue an alarm.

As is clear from the above explanation, by providing an electrode as a sensor in the sealed heat storage tank and detecting the conductivity of the internal liquid from the outside, it is possible to easily detect a rupture in the enclosing container for the latent heat storage heat medium. It is possible to prevent corrosion of heat storage tanks and monitor loss of effectiveness of heat storage materials. In addition, by attaching the electrode near the set water level of the sensible heat storage heat medium, it is also possible to have an effect as a liquid level monitor. Further, the sensor (electrode) does not need to directly detect conductivity, but may be any sensor that can substantially lead to the detection of conductivity.
