ABSTRACT:
A heat storage device comprises a heat storage tank2charged with a heat storage material1for storing the heat supplied from the outside, and a heat exchanger3for executing an injection and an extraction of heat between the inside of the storage tank2and the outside by the heat exchange between the heat storage material and a heat transfer medium. The heat exchanger3is disposed so as to execute a heat exchange between the central portion2ain the heat storage tank2and the outside, and suppresses the natural convection of the heat storage material1of the outer portion2bby, for example, dispersing a liquid-absorbent material5in the outer portion2bsurrounding the central portion in the heat storage tank2, whereby reduces the influence of external environment on the central portion2ain the heat storage tank, thereby suppressing the heat loss toward the outside.
