Abstract

Latent heat body (1) with paraffin-based latent heat storage material accommodated in a carrier material which has holding spaces, wherein the carrier material comprises fibres of an organic plastics material or natural material or of an inorganic material or of textile materials. The carrier material is assembled from individual carrier-material elements by adhesive bonding, capillary-like holding spaces for the latent heat storage material being formed at least between the carrier-material elements. The latent heat storage material is provided with a thickening agent for providing increased viscosity to the heat storage material while in a molten state.
