Abstract

A heat store comprises heat-storage bodies for storing thermal energy, a housing, in which the heat-storage bodies are accommodated; and at least one line for a heat-transfer fluid, in order to feed thermal energy to the heat-storage bodies and/or carry it away from the heat-storage bodies. Each of the heat-storage bodies comprises a metal rail of an elongated form, the cross-section of which has a web between widened ends.
