Abstract
An ice storage element (28), especially for the auxiliary air conditioning system of a motor vehicle, with a hollow body for forming at least one storage space (34) for an ice storage medium (36) which is liquid in the thawed state and which can be brought into heat-conductive connection with a refrigerant. The ice storage medium (36) contains a thickening agent to suppress sloshing of the ice storage medium (36) in the thawed state and to ensure freezing of the ice storage medium (36) in the form of a slush.
