    摘要: A system for storing heat is provided having a first housing section with a first storage volume, wherein the first housing has a first opening for connecting the first storage volume to an environment. A first type of first heat storing elements is arranged within the first housing section. The system has a second housing section with a second storage volume, wherein the second housing section has a second opening for connecting the second storage volume to the environment, wherein the first and second storage volumes are interconnected for forming a common storage volume. A second type of second heat storing elements is arranged within the second housing section. The first heat storing elements of the first type have a respective first element size, wherein the second storing elements of the second type have a respective second element size. The first element size differs from the second element size.
