20080210218 | Dynamic heat accumulator and method for storing heat - A heat accumulator has a heat accumulator structure with at least two accumulator elements through which a medium flows for charging and that thus each forms a hot end and a cold end by temperature layering and having a medium rinse device. In a rinse operation the heat accumulator produces at least one cold medium rinse flow and introduces it into the cold end of at least one of the accumulator elements. The hot medium rinse flow exiting from the hot end of the accumulator element enters the hot end that is in the charged state via at least one rinse path. | 09-04-2008 |
