System and process for storing energy

There is disclosed a process for storing energy by use of the heat of fusion of hydrated salts which are within a bulk container having heat exchange means. The process prevents stratification and supercooling from occurring during the heat releasing cycles by internally circulating the molten salt...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	There is disclosed a process for storing energy by use of the heat of fusion of hydrated salts which are within a bulk container having heat exchange means. The process prevents stratification and supercooling from occurring during the heat releasing cycles by internally circulating the molten salt within the container and also by preventing the temperature of the salt from rising above that at which complete melting of the salt crystals within the container occurs.
