Abstract

A heat reservoir including a housing, first reservoir elements for storing thermal energy, and an inlet port is provided. The first reservoir elements are arranged in the housing. The inlet port is coupled to the housing in such a way that a working fluid can flow into the housing through the inlet port. The inlet port is provided with an inlet orifice through which the working fluid can flow from the surroundings of the heat reservoir into the inlet port. The inlet port includes a diffusor portion the cross-section of which increases in the direction running from the inlet orifice to the housing.
