Heat storage and heat dissipation device container, heat storage and heat dissipation assembly, and energy production plant

摘要

The vessel of a heat storage and release apparatus is provided with a shell made of metallic material with an internal cavity for containing a heat storage and release device and for guiding gas-flow, a first opening through the shell for a flow of gas at high temperature and high pressure in and out of the cavity, a second opening through the shell for a flow of gas at low temperature and high pressure in and out of the cavity, and a lining of thermally insulating material covering only partially the internal surface of the cavity; the lining is located at least in the region where the first opening is located, i.e., where the temperature is higher; in this way, the temperature of the shell can be controlled. Such heat storage and release apparatus can be provided in an energy production plant as a component of an energy storage and release system to be used for compensating differences between energy produced and energy demanded.
