    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for storing heat, comprising a heat storage medium, which for storing heat takes up heat and for using the stored heat gives off heat, and a tank for receiving the heat storage medium, wherein the tank is closed by a gas-tight covering, and means for volume equalization are comprised, in order to equalize an increase in volume of the heat storage medium (3) as a result of an increase in temperature and a decrease in volume as a result of a decrease in temperature. The invention also relates to a method for storing heat, in which, for storing heat, heat is transferred to a heat storage medium or, for using heat, heat is removed from the heat storage medium and passed to the heat transfer medium, wherein the heat storage medium is held in a tank, which is closed by a gas-tight covering, wherein an expansion of the volume of the heat storage medium (3) is equalized by an increase in the volume of the tank (1), or by heat storage medium (3) flowing out of the tank (1) into a buffer tank (21; 63, 65), and a decrease in the volume of the heat storage medium (3) is equalized by a reduction in the volume of the tank (1) or by heat storage medium (3) flowing out of the buffer tank (21; 63, 65) into the tank (1).

    Abstract: Electrode unit for an electrochemical device, comprising a solid electrolyte (3) and a porous electrode (7), wherein the solid electrolyte (3) separates a space for cathode material and a space for anode material and the porous electrode (7) is connected in surface-area contact to the solid electrolyte (3), wherein a displacer (23) is accommodated in the space for anode material, wherein the displacer (23) is produced from a high-grade steel or from graphite foil and comes to lie against the inner geometry of the solid electrolyte (3) in a resilient manner such that the displacer (23) does not contact the solid electrolyte over the full surface area, or wherein the displacer comprises an outer shell (62) made of high-grade steel or graphite and a core (64) made of a nonferrous metal, wherein the nonferrous metal is thermoplastically deformable at a temperature that is lower than the temperature at which the high-grade steel is thermoplastically deformable, and wherein, for production, the high-grade steel or graphite shell (62) is pressed against the solid electrolyte (3) by introducing and heating the nonferrous metal and, during cooling down, a gap forms between the solid electrolyte (3) and the high-grade steel shell (62).
