Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A pumped heat energy storage apparatus comprising a working fluid circulation pathway retaining working fluid and a heat exchanger, the heat exchanger having a heat exchange chamber configured to bring thermal storage media into direct contact with working fluid in the working fluid circulation pathway to thereby exchange heat energy between the working fluid and the thermal storage media, wherein the working fluid is a gas and the thermal storage media is a solid, wherein the heat exchanger is configured to cause received thermal storage media to be moved into and out of the heat exchange chamber, and wherein the heat exchanger is reversible to transfer heat energy from the working fluid to the thermal storage media or vice versa in alternative first and second operating modes.
