METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CHARGING A STRATIFIED THERMAL ENERGY STORE

摘要

A method and a device for charging a stratified thermal energy store are disclosed. According to the method, a working fluid of a heat pump is introduced in the gaseous phase into a liquid heat transfer medium of the stratified thermal energy store at at least one introduction point and is brought into direct physical contact with the heat transfer medium, the pressure in the stratified thermal energy store at the introduction point being greater than or equal to the condensation pressure of the working fluid.
