Abstract
A sensibe heat storage unit is provided which has a 'step function' thermal gradient, and is constructed so as to have alternated regions of different thermal conductivity along the flow path through the unit such that, in one embodiment, there are spaced elements within the storage unit having transverse conductivities higher than the conductivity of the material in the spaces therebetween. This permits discharge of the storage unit at a uniform temperature until the storage unit is emptied.
