Evaluation of the Performance Criteria of Combined Thermo- Chemical Energy Storage Systems for Building Applications

摘要

The collaborative research activities of the industrial and academic communities for the development of thernthermo-chemical energy storage (TES) technology are growing dynamically and new concepts of systemsrnare appearing. The building sector presents the particular interests field for the implementation of suchrntechnology in accordance with the new EU energy policy. The well-known limitations of the existent TESrntechnology may be overcome by the development of novel materials as well as by the design of new type ofrnreactors. In the present work the enhanced energy efficient TES configurations, destined for space heatingrnapplications, have been established and studied basing on simple models using performance data of thernreactive medium. Two major heating techniques have been assessed: low temperature air-to-water integratedrncircuits and combined warm air heating. The analysis of the performance criteria of the proposedrnconfigurations allowed concluding about the usability of the TES in the predefined range of operatingrnconditions.
