Abstract
A thermal energy storage tank charged with a phase changeable thermal energy storage material produces a partial pressure variation due to the flow of a heat transfer medium, when passing through the thermal energy storage material. An attempt is made to provide the uniform phase changeable of the thermal energy storage material by passing the heat transfer medium therethrough, over the throughout of the thermal energy storage material, by providing a variety to the flow direction of the heat transfer medium. For instance, according to the achievement of uniform flow of heat transfer medium in the vertical direction, there may be attained uniform phase changeable both in an upper portion and in a lower portion of the thermal energy storage material.
