ABSTRACT:
In the context of a latent heat storage means for vehicle heating systems run on waste engine heat, comprising an inner container accommodating a storage core, an outer containing surrounding the inner one with a clearance to constitute a preferably evacuated insulating space, two ducts running from the outside through the insulating space to the inner container, of which one functions as a supply duct for a heat vehicle fluid and the other functions as a return duct therefor, and the inner container is suspended at two end walls, via a respective group of ribs with a low thermal conductivity, on the outer container, between a first end wall of the inner container and the outer container at least one spring is so arranged that it tends to change the distance apart of the opposite end walls of the inner container and of the outer container and between the container wall connecting the two end walls of the inner container and the adjacent container wall of the outer container the insulating space has its minimum thickness, the design is intended to prevent undesired displacement between the inner and outer containers and to ensure that the ribs of the suspensions at the two wall sections of the inner container are always under tension, and for this purpose the ribs, which are associated with the other, second end wall of the inner container, are able to be slid in the direction of the container wall which connects the end walls of the inner container, in relation to the inner container while perpendicularly thereto they are connected in a non-sliding manner with the inner container and between the ends, which are in engagement with the inner container, of these ribs and the inner container at least one spring is arranged, which tends to change the distance between these ends and the second end wall of the inenr container and therefore to keep the ribs under tension.
