We claim:
1. A storage element comprising a storage substance which can absorb heat on transition from the solid state to the liquid state having seed crystals in said substance to prevent the storage substance from cooling below its melting temperature during a phase in which it yields up heat, characterized in that a porous shape retaining body having therein a plurality of small capillary passages is included in said element to hold said crystals uniformally throughout said substance and to hold said substance by capillary tension within said element and a vapor barrier encasing said body to prevent escape of vapor of said storage substance from said element.
