Abstract
According to the invention, the side wall (21) of a heat store (20) is supported in turn by a supporting bulk material (23) and is preferably inclined, such that the side wall (21) is subject to substantially less stress and can be produced from non-metallic material, such as concrete, for example. This type of heat store can be produced simply and cost-effectively and also permits long-term storage of large amounts of heat at high temperatures.
