  • Patent number: 10823477
    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a thermal energy storage member having sufficient dissipation capabilities and a storage container using the same, and a refrigerator using the same. A thermal energy storage member 1 includes: a thin-plate outer shape having an opposing upper face 1a and lower face 1b; a thermal energy storage material 3 filled in the inside of a package material 2; and a thermal conduction amount adjusting portion 4 that, in a case where difference occurs between temperature at the upper face 1a side and temperature at the lower face 1b side, reduces difference in thermal conduction amount per unit of time at the upper face 1a and the lower face 1b.

  • Patent number: 10179686
    Abstract: The present invention is intended to provide a storage container that includes a shelf member holding a heat storage material arranged optimally. In a storage container that preserves an object at predetermined temperature, the storage container includes a storage room in which the object is preserved, and a shelf member disposed within the storage room, the shelf member including a flat portion on which the object is placed, and a heat storage material arranged to the flat portion in a way distributed depending on a temperature distribution near the flat portion within the storage room during steady operation. The heat storage material is arranged to be localized to a region of the flat portion at a relatively low-temperature side depending on the temperature distribution within the storage room.

  • Patent number: 10101095
    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a heat storage capsule capable of being readily produced and a heat storage member using the same. A heat storage capsule 10 includes a heat storage material 20 reversibly changing into a hydrate of a salt and an aqueous solution of the salt and also includes a capsule coating 22 encapsulating the heat storage material 20. The capsule coating 22 includes an inner sub-coating 24 and an outer sub-coating 26. The inner sub-coating 24 is a hydrogenated oil layer. The outer sub-coating 26 is made of a hydrophilic gel. The heat storage capsule 10 has a W/O/W three-layer structure.

  • Patent number: 9841219
    Abstract: An object is to provide a storage container including latent heat storage materials that provide a high cold insulation effect. A storage container 401 has an electric cooling function and stores an object. The storage container 401 includes at least one storage chamber 100 that stores the object; a first latent heat storage material A that is disposed in the storage chamber 100 and has a predetermined phase change temperature; and a second latent heat storage material B that is disposed in the storage chamber 100 and has a phase change temperature higher than the phase change temperature of the first latent heat storage material A.

  • Patent number: 9523539
    Abstract: The present invention is to provide a latent heat storage member which is able to more reliably contribute to a daily peak shift of energy consumption, and a building material provided with the latent heat storage member. A latent heat storage member 20 which is formed by using a material including a latent heat storage material such as paraffin and a gelation agent and is used as a building material, includes an outer side surface 20b arranged on a solar light irradiation side facing the outside, and has a phase change temperature T1 within a temperature range between a lowest temperature Tsmin and a highest temperature Tsmax of the outer side surface 20b in the daytime.
