PURPOSE:To make a heat accumulating material difficult to separate into two phases and enable to effect the accumulation and dissipation of heat due to the change of phase of a latent heat accumulating material effectively by a method wherein capsule holding members are attached to a plurality of stages in an outer casing horizontally with predetermined spaces and capsules, sealing the heat accumulating material are arranged horizontally on the holding members. CONSTITUTION:A plurality of horizontal stages of the capsule holding members 3, made by perforated plate constituted by a wire net, plastics, fibers or the like, or a plurality of parallel rods, are arranged in the outer casing 4. The capsules 1, sealing the latent heat accumulating material 2, are provided on the capsule holding members 3 horizontally with proper spaces. A heat medium, such as air, water, or the like, is introduced into the fan 5 in the outer casing 4 from the down side thereof. Substance, precipitated to the lower part may be molten quickly and sufficiently by heating the lower surfaces of the capsules 1 more than the upper surfaces thereof upon heat accumulating while the precipitated substance is floated to the upper part by convection effect and may be mixed quickly with the substances having low melting points, and floating in the upper part of the fluid.
