Thermochemical Heat Storage: State-of-the-Art Report

摘要

This report comprises the results of the chemical heat storage (TCHS) survey and assessment study assigned to Battelle-Institut e.V., Frankfurt, by the Swedish Council for Building Research (BFR) and the Swedish Board for Technical Development (STU). In accordance with the function of BFR and STU within the Energy R and D Program of the Swedish government, emphasis is given to energy use in buildings, but aspects of the industrial application of thermochemical heat storage are included as well. Technically, this study is restricted to TCHS systems of the type heat in yields thermochemical reaction yields heat out and excludes hydrogen technology, electrochemical and photochemical methods. Various applications are considered, covering the most important sectors of energy consumption in Sweden. The TCHS systems to be studied in this context are discontinuous sorption heat pump, chemical heat storage, chemical heat pipe, and continuous sorption heat pump.
