ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for storing of heat by use of the heat of fusion or crystallization of a liquid-solid storage medium. A conventional crystallization roller rotates with its circumference partially immersed in the melted storage medium. Heat receiving liquid circulated through the drum to a point of use receives heat from melted storage medium in contact with the drum, whereby such storage medium solidifies on the surface of the drum. The drum rotates the solidified storage medium past a fixed scraper which transfers the solid storage medium to a heat exchanger. Heat supplying liquid circulating through the heat exchanger imparts its heat to, and melts, the scraped-off storage medium which returns to the storage medium reservoir and brings with it the heat obtained from the heat supplying liquid.
