METHODE DE PRODUCTION D'UN MOYEN DE STOCKAGE THERMIQUE ET ELEMENT DE STOCKAGE THERMIQUE ADAPTE A CETTE METHODE

Abstract of the DisclosureFor the production of a heat storage means, more particularly inthe form of latent heat storage means, for vehicle heating systems run onheat from the engine, comprising a housing, which is made up of an outercontainer and in inner container arranged in spaced relationship to theouter container so as to include an insulating zone between them, a heatstorage core arranged in the inner container and having at least onechamber for a storage medium in it, said chamber being separated by apartition wall from at least one flow path for a heat transfer medium,and an inlet duct and outlet duct for the heat transfer medium, suchducts being connected with the flow path and extending outwards throughthe insulating zone, a high quality insulation may be produced withoutthermal damage in a substantially shorter period of time, which iseconomically acceptable and the insulation may be sufficiently longlasting for use in automobiles, if after the insulating zone has beenheated after the production of the housing for degassing and has beenevacuated, the bake out is performed at a temperature which issubstantially above the operational temperature of the core and saidcomponents: of the heat storage core are then protected against anytemperature-dependent damage to the heat storage core.
