DEVELOPMENT OF A SEGMENTED SORPTION STORE WITHIN THE PROJECT 'SolSpaces'

摘要

An advanced segmented sorption heat store with improved efficiency of the adsorption and desorptionrnprocesses is presented in this paper. The basic concept of the solar thermal space heating system with highrnsolar fraction using an effective long-term sorption store integrated in a conventional mechanical ventilationrnsystem has been developed in previous research projects. Many improvements concerning the system designrnand storage material have been achieved in the recent years. A modular storage design with segmentedrnadsorption units is developed in the current work. A prototype store has been build and experimentallyrninvestigated. The results of the numerical simulations are in good agreement with the experiments.
