A heat storing device for exchanging heat energy between a heat storing
material and a fluid. The heat storing device has a heat storing module
having heat storing material spaces filled with a heat storing material
and fluid passages for a fluid to flow through adjacent to the heat
storing material spaces. The heat storing module includes multiple plates
in a stack. Each of the multiple plates has fluid passages in one side
thereof. In mutually adjacent pairs of plates, the sides having the fluid
passages face each other. When each pair of plates is seen face-on, with
respect to the fluid passages of one of the plates, the fluid passages of
the other plate intersect substantially at right angles, and the fluid
passages of the two plates connect at these positions where they
intersect.
