Heat regenerator

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE: To intensify heat receiving performance of a heat regenerator, as well as to increase the heating surface area of a container, by a method wherein the heat receiving wall of a container, which contains heat regenerating material in it, is made of bellows wall. CONSTITUTION: The container 1 consists of a bellows structure, and heat receiving walls consist of bellows wall 1', to which recesses seeds inducing agent 3 is provided. The heating surface area of a container 1 is increased by reggedness of bellows walls 1', and the container 1 becomes hard to be broken, because stress to the container 1 from the outside is eased, as the bellows walls 1' have elasticity. With such an arrangement, the accident that may caused by breakage of a container 1 is prevented, as well as the heat resistance to a container 1 from heat medium of the outside and that to heat regenerating material 2 from a container 1 are decreased. In addition, the seeds inducing agents 3 are provided intervening between the recesses of bellows walls 1'. Ununiform radiation of heat from heat regenerating material 2 is prevented, because crystallization starts from the parts where seeds inducing agent is provided, without centralizing in one place.
