Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2011094371A2] The invention is directed at articles and devices for thermal energy storage, and for process of storing energy using these articles and devices. The articles comprise a capsular structure 10 having one or more sealed spaces 14, wherein the sealed spaces encapsulate one or more thermal energy storage materials 26: wherein the capsular structure has one or more fluid passages 16 which are sufficiently large to allow a heat transfer fluid to flow through the one or more fluid passages; and when a heat transfer fluid contacts the capsular structure 10 the thermal energy storage material 26 is Isolated from the heal transfer fluid. The devices include two or more articies arranged so that a fluid, such as a heat transfer fluid, may flow through the fluid passage 16 of an article before or after flowing through a space between two of the articles.
